many people don't know why they "feel" what they feel.
they fall in love with the wrong person.
they cry unexpectedly.
Kid-A you're getting very technical on this
but from that :
Emotions are simply the essential subtext to the formation of a value, as we would not develop a particular "belief" or "value" if it failed to have an emotional "core" attached to it, regardless of what that emotional meaning may be.
That's why to get informed or analyse an emotion we have to check our values to beging with ...

Our emotions are not a source of information
to me our emotions are a very good source of information about ourselves and others it talks about our weakness and forces.
and yes to me emotions begins with values too :
it is so true that one way to get read or reasoning about a big emotion (as the emotion is ours = so totally about ourself) is to see it as an answer about our values about ourselves and others. if we have to deal with it (good or bad) the only way to get there is to forget about ourselve first so you can see things objectively as an outsider (in knowing that we know a lot about ourselves - then it's all about sincerity).
If we can't forget about ourselves when we have big emotions ... we are not able to be objective (so many things can be mixed about the "why" in front of a "What") ... we follow them wherever they lead us (good or bad) ... but the information by then can be very biased.
Take a simple example the one which most talking "anger": forget about yourself and the probleme is solved ... no emotion left ... then you can analyse "why" from the outside in checking yourself and the others in lots of different perspectives. Then you think about yourself with all those new informations and you have way more weapons to fight against (or to enjoy the emotion if it is a good one).
That's why since we had this jokes with my friends about the "shame is good methode" (put whatever probleme you've got in "shame's" place in this sentence) it became on the long run, way more easy to deal with big and bruptal emotions in the most short notice possible. Because it allow us to accept it at first and for instance laught about ourselves (I mean If needed give it even more weight against yourself / to the point it is just not bearable or not justified this way but just laughable - but in this process you already have argument which says IT IS NOT THAT BIG).
That's a methode to forget about ourselves in the most enjoyable way. And since we don't take ourselfves, anyone or anything to seriously from that ... we can think way more objectivly in this state about ourself, anyone or anything.I've got read of my anger against my father when I realiased how stupid it was for me to put so much weight on him (he was my first and my last big emotional issue). He was not stupid (well maybe he is but I don't care anymore at all) ... but I was to feed my angers (related to him) ... That's almost a year ago and with this anger againt my father a lots of angers (that in fact was related to him) just disapeared.
this is my 1000th post, (light sabre required now), and as i've never told my story on this forum i though i'd do it now.
as some of you may be aware, i write poetry, and some even think i'm talented, so i decided to write it down in verse.
it's very much a work in progress, i haven't finished it yet, but here's part one:.
... ...
i wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience.
i am one of the fortunate ones whose father was an elder ...note was....but defied all odds and sent me to university.
by the way i must just point out that i am in africa and i am an african.

the new world translation (nwt) contains thousands of serious errors.
the following regarding john 1:1, one of the most noteworthy verses to jehovah's witness and ex-jehovah's witnesses alike, provides a case example of how and why the nwt cannot be trusted.
there some few scholars that translate the word was "a god" or "a god" or "divine" but they are in the very low percentages.. in greek john 1:1 says: "en arche en ho logos, kai ho logos en pros ton theon, kai theos en ho logos.
Since I'm on this subject : when God said Christ/Logo is my posterity ... it could all makes senses this way
= what leads God before (OT) immature somehow / What leads God's will after (NT) mature = Christ

Now what if as essence your spirit have a conscience which leads your evolution by experience (your conscience talks to you but it's you ...).
Then from that who's your daddy? ... your conscience --- so I mean it could say that : The God in God is the Word (Logo) but still all in one.

i have been following the story on the duggar family ever since i saw it when they were having their 15th child.
we get it on pay tv here.
anyone else as interested as i am?.
fwiw ... Now that's just ... well I'm speechless
ok i've been thinking about posting this for a while.
i'd really love to see what people think, there might even be people who think the same thing.. as jw's we got every single little thing rammed down our throats right?
so, we had set beliefs or answers for everything- does god exist?, are there aliens?
I've never liked boxes and will never stay in a boxe (unless I don't have the choice) since I have the choice it's all open ...
who likes (so called) perfect people?
anyway i don't think i've met any unless on a short time enough for those to fake it.. ok we have or had got a mom, a dad, sisters and brothesr, friends, collegues even some people that we are not even really connected to ... but we dont care their defects?
not that we accepte them and do not react to them but we still love those people.. for instance : my favorite sister (if i can say something like that) is the one which is the most terrible !!!
I see what you mean LeslieV ... (since they are not excessivly mean ...)
Sometimes when you know that a lot of people do not like them because of those behaviors (if you feel that they suffer about not being appreciated), you want to tell them. When you do they acknoledge but don't really change I guess it's because they are not ready to (they can't because of some psychological issue), or just because it is their personality at the moment.
