HUMAN, GENDER and EMOTIONS 3
To a large extent, I tried to compress this into very few lines and, I believe it helped us to have a mental shift?
Having dealt with the humanity in us and the issue of gender, let us talk about emotions.
I shared some BASIC knowledge of emotions and I got a lot of reactions.
My profession does not permit us to argue, we only ask questions.
Culture and society has wired us to believe that some emotions are BAD/GOOD and that some are gender bias.
I want to say this with uttermost confidence that, emotions are not good or bad and that they're not gender bias.
We don't have positive or negative emotions.
I am just going to do what I can do here, I won't be able to do much.
Being afraid doesn't make a man less manly.
Being angry is not what makes him a man either.
Fear is not synonymous with women.
Above all, fear and anger are not negative emotions after all, we were told to FEAR God and to also be ANGRY.
These two came as INSTRUCTIONS only one came with a caution.
Your emotion is not an INSTRUCTION, it is an INFORMATION. What you do with it is not the fault of the emotion.
We have to stop attributing certain emotions to gender response.
Nobody is a gossip because she's a woman neither is someone abusive because he's a man.
People do not fight or kill each other because they're angry, they do because they MISUSED an emotion that came to HELP them.
Every emotion you consider as a positive emotion has been responsible for the death of someone at some point, did that make you change it to become a negative emotion?
Finally, people do not misbehave because they have a particular temperament or a particular personality, we must not confuse these.
People behave badly because they're not WELL TRAINED.
People fight or kill others, not because of anger but because they allow their THOUGHTS to overtake their HUMANITY.
Your FEELING is not responsible for your ACTIONS, your THOUGHT is.
Also, what someone did is not responsible for your feelings or emotions, your thoughts, feelings and interpretations are responsible.
So, stop saying someone made you angry.
Take care of your humanity, gender and emotions.
