One thing that particularly interests me is emotions. We always hear about them, but in recent years, the subject of emotions has taken on a completely different dimension. I wish to invite you to reflect on emotions, ours, yours. It’s an invitation to change your perspective on them, to see them as friends, and perhaps to appreciate them a little more.
One of the most commonly used emotions to get what we want from others is guilt. Not only do some religious systems encourage guilt, but also the education model where failure is not celebrated but condemned, and where the message of guilt has been passed down from generation to generation since our earliest age. For many of us, this has resulted in somewhat dysfunctional behavior, where we act more to avoid the feeling of guilt rather than making conscious decisions that would lead to well-being, our well-being.
