Emotions are the motivating force in our lives.This motivation can be productive,empowering and creative,or it can be addictive,negative and abusive.
Whether we are happy or sad,healthy or diseased,liberated or imprisoned in our own mentally created hell,depends upon our ability to manage our emotions.
Our emotions are constantly manipulated by advertising and politics,trying to sell us wares and sway our opinion.Rather than providing practical training to control the mind, our culture medicates everyone from preschool children to seniors because they lack the tools to adapt to emotional pressure.I prefer meditation over medication,sedation tends to find complacency.Err...pass.Million s are prescribed tranquilizers,antidepressants and other mood-modifying drugs;or they self-medicate with alcohol,recreational drugs and countless other addictive substances or activities.Creativity is a gift not an illness,it requires solitude not medication and apathy. Where's the art in that?
