For eons, it was that women were relegated to merely keeping the fire, having children and speaking or thinking or feeling nothing other than that. As ages changed, stricter controls were enforced and caring for the every need of her mate were the main focus. Women were confined to the home for the major part of their lives. Victoria women could not express emotion or they were deemed as being hysterical and being unstable. Until 1912 the medical field suggested that women were more emotional and hypersensitive. Even today, there are religions that believe a women is delegated to lower than men. Feelings and intuition are of little value and best not be shown, in fact, of the devil.
First of all, ALL emotions are gifts of creation. It is how we react to them, use them, define them, that becomes the problem. Hate and anger can definitely cause problems and lead to suffering. But they are necessary emotions to teach us how to grow and evolve as we learn how to control them. We must not push those emotions away. They are valid feelings that need to be sat with, learned from, and help us to become more spiritually evolved and emotionally intelligent. We must be aware of the WHY of the emotion.
To be mature means we need to acknowledge our emotions, know them and know the WHY of them. If we can do that, we can turn all our emotions into being a compassionate being on Mother Earth. To know our emotions is to become aware of how to control them, to learn from them is to become more spiritually evolved. Perhaps that is the purpose of life, to know and acknowledge, to learn from in order to evolve spiritually.
I wish us this.
