When we divide love, how are we supposed to use it to come together? In studying emotions, We found that people are more inclined to make their feelings specific than to acknowledge, though the experiences are distinct, the actual emotions aren’t. We all experience the same signs and symptoms; that is how we cannot only label, but also diagnose them. Being happy is enjoying a moment that brings us joy. Happiness is looking around you and enjoying everything you see; it’s a state of being; it involves being in a form that allows us to continue to be optimistic about life. Being angry is when someone or something causes us to lose self-control, causing us to either lash out or walk out (fight or flight); funny how much that mirrors fear. The emotion that causes us to lose control of yourself also causes us to ‘defend’ or ‘run for comfort.’ Misery is the negative state of being that causes us not to enjoy life; it causes us to become pessimistic about everything involving life. We label these emotions to understand what, when, where, how, and most importantly, why we are going through them. We wouldn’t be able to understand the functions of man without categorizing things, and here we are trying to fight labels as opposed to understanding what labels we wish to embrace. When we know each emotion, and we know what will cause those emotions, we’re more inclined to walk closer to the desired feelings and walk away from the undesirable ones. Remind ourselves that “We comprised of definitions that define us, and if we don’t like the meaning of something that describes us, we shouldn’t change the meaning, we should change the descriptive.” When that is understood, LOVE will be the definition that describes us, meeting our destination of being bonded together!!!!
