Keeping your cool at all times, good and bad,
is something many people think a matter of maturity, but what I feel is
sometimes losing your cool is also essential. If someone always remains calm
and cool, there can be something wrong with them. In that a necessity to know
what is the reason behind such coolness and innate maturity. It might be the
result of loss of coolness, ironically. It might be a sign of overt maturity
and the process of disappearing of that child in you. A person who says he never gets angry, never
overreacts, never speaks loudly and never laughs insanely is a wonder, at least
in my eyes.
How can it be true that someone is living but
not alive, eating but not feeling? How can it be true that someone loves one
person so much and at the same time hates someone as much? It has always
bothered me that love and hate live together in the same person's heart and
mind. It hurts to hate too! It's not easy to hate someone, it even takes
courage to not dislike people, more courage than it takes to love. To hate
someone and still be cool about it is not possible, in the same way as it is
not possible to remain cool when you fall in love. Love and hate. I’m talking
about these two as the two feelings are exceedingly intense and extreme. And
how can extreme things in life be felt any lesser than they mean to us? The
thing is that one cannot possibly be feeling lesser than what they have in
their heart. And if they do, they are missing out on something. Missing out on
things is okay, missing out on people is okay, missing out on anything is okay,
but missing out on feelings, that’s not okay. Feelings are what we’re all made
of! We cannot compromise on something that is as important as our existence.
The reality is, anything can be forgotten,
feelings can’t. Even forgetfulness is a feeling, and for that matter, even
“numbness” is a feeling! Whatever you do, wherever you go, you feel something.
Good, bad, pretty, ugly, happy, sad and not. So if we know we’re going to feel
something or the other, why always control the feelings? Why try to be subtle?
Why not let the feelings burst out of our hearts? Let it shine out bright in
the sunlight. If you’re happy, smile as if you’re a child, party all night,
laugh, play, shout and jump, sing, dance. If you’re sad, cry it out, be sad.
Keep nothing inside you. For you’re not a storage tank, and if your argument is
“yes may be I am”, what about a storage tank bursting of overflow? Even that
storage tank is made to be filled and emptied for usage, then why keep your
feelings inside you? Whatever it is, speak up, scream and shout, empty it all
out. For there must be space for new feelings to go inside, and if you’ll hold
on to the old ones, how will you ever experience the new ones? Do whatever is
needed to take your feelings out, live it out large, loud and screamingly
obvious. Why be subtle? Be loud, for loud is what is heard, and low voices are
never heard, if you know what I mean. Shout, laugh, sing, lose your mind, be mad,
say what you want, be who you are, scream, dance, jump, love, smile, be loud
(just not on that office desk) :wink: Happy Monday!
