Our emotions are “nomads” that continuously wander in the twists and turns of our soul. They touch our physiology, touch our sensitivity, impact on our mental structure, condition our imagination. They are the key to our ability to connect with ourselves and with the world. All this to say that the more we know our emotions, the more fulfilling our life will be.
Whichever way we “treat” our emotions, we will always be at the mercy of it if we don’t learn to open the door. We must have the courage to approach them in order to know how to direct and channel them in the right way.
