Emotions = Weakness
In other words, it's having the ability to recognize, express, and regulate these emotions at a healthy time. So what I mean by that is, for example, if you hear the news that your loved one has gotten into an accident, crying on the floor in a helpless state is not going to help anyone. If what is required from you is managing the technical aspects of the situation, which might be to take care of medical bills, transportation, food, family, et cetera

Hi, Gandhi. You're absolutely right. If you are experiencing an emotion, it's not a weakness. I think it is the biggest strength of an individual, of a human who is able to experience all emotions because it is so important to feel, to be in that moment and feel every emotion that is there and that the strength of the person. And if you can empathize with the others, I think nothing like that. So thank you so much for sharing this. Have a lovely day
I absolutely agree with you. So there are certain things people have to consider and everyone have to understand this fact. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a great today

So therefore, when you just go with the flow and do as expected, because it is in our nature, right. You're being very true to who you are. So overtly suppressing your emotions may not help. But at the same time, in a situation of a crisis, like you rightly said, if there's an accident, you need to get down to the rastax and start looking at how you can help

That's treated more as a kind of a stigmatized phenomenon. And this is something very unfortunate, because when you were born as a human being or when you were born as a living organism on this planet, emotion, inseparably, inevitably, they became kind of an extension of your own personality. You cannot see your own existence, you cannot be surviving well, you cannot sustain well on this planet without expressing your innermost feeling
I think being emotional or expressing emotion is not seen as a sign of strength. Especially, I feel like in our society, I think I've seen it across the board, across different cultures and different people. So thank you for that reminder that it is a strength, a strip
Hello, Gauri. And one of the points you made in your response was really interesting. And the point you made about how emotions are a way that people can manipulate us, you know, and it's so true. And I think in a lot of ways, I feel like media, I feel like politics, I feel like a lot of different arenas, right
And it also reminded me on Instagram, I don't know if you have seen, there are people who've been conducting these breath workshops. I've never experienced one. But you see people, like, breathing and the instructor taking them through, and then literally, some people end up crying as they're just breathing and checking with their emotions
And I found it odd because I was just like, no, this is just a way of me healing. Like, I am going to feel sad. I'm going to feel sad, and I'm just going to allow myself to feel sad over it. I'm not focusing on it, but I'm just expressing it and letting it go. It is sadness. What do you do? You can't pretend not to be sad
