Positive emotions towards others should be spontaneously, voluntarily shared with the individuals concerned; Negative emotions should be kept for oneself unless a question is asked, in this case we must say what we believe but with tact and diplomacy; Honesty, sincerity are among my main values, that is why I find it hard to live in this world in which hypocrisy is predominant!
I was thinking the exact thoughts today and see that you wrote about it!
RépondreSupprimerYou're right, it seems that we are conditioned to only share positive thoughts and hide the "negative" thoughts within ourselves.
It reminds me of a saying: laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you weep alone.
It's sad that human beings can not be fully honest with others or even themselves.
I think if everyone was at least a little more honest the world would be a better place. More people would do what they want to do and spend time with people who they truly love and care for.
I agree, it's difficult to share painful thoughts and emotions without hearing the listener ask questions. The listener doesn't usually realize that he or she needs to provide cues for the speaker, needs to let the speaker know that he or she understands and if not is still willing to try to understand.
I think those who truly care will always listen and ask, join you in celebration and comfort you when times are tough.
By the way, I really like this photograph of you! You seem so happy and almost childlike, the spark of excitement in your eyes resembles that of a child who admires everything in a toy store.
Thank you for sharing!
It's my luck that ridicule don't kill!
