Why is it that even when our society has made tremendous progress in terms of economy, technology and material objects, more and more people face emotional and social issues?
There maybe three reasons why we shun emotional problems:
1. It's an embarrassing subject. Too much of a taboo.
Yes, talking about emotions may be seen as weak. But not talking about it and suppressing it is just removing the symptoms without solving the root problem.
2. Positivity is superior. Negativity is to be swept under the carpet.
Advertisements, and social media updates tend to portray people as positive and successful. Nothing wrong with that. We should encourage people to be upbeat about life.
But when it comes to negative emotions, we tend to sweep aside and dare not face it. Or we suppress and say that we forget about it. Why? Is it too painful? Or is it a sign of embarrassment and weakness? If we are unable to face our negative emotions, how can we ever be able to let go since we need to be aware of your negative emotions before we can release them?
3. Emotions are secondary to our lives.
What's the point of talking about emotions? The most important thing in your life should be a list of achievements and possessions that you have. If you have all those things, you will be happy. Do you still believe in this?
Why are people living in some of the most developed and progressive societies less happy? Look at America, Singapore and some parts of China? In China, there is even less concerned about human lives. Think about the harmful products that have been produced: poisoned milk powder, waxed apples, poisoned toys, fake meat. Lack of compassionate emotions must have led people to conduct these immoral businesses.
Stress, competition, less social support due to fragmented family structure, financial problems due to poor money management (this again may be due to the emotions of handling money is not developed well enough) or poor income due to nature of job or lack of qualifications or opportunities, and society's emphasis on achievements and possessions and neglect on the emotional well-being of an individual are some reasons why we have all backtracked on our emotional management. This has also led us to neglect the elders and the underprivileged in our society.
What we need is emotional rescue ... ... Chinese thinking is very practical. No one asks you questions about your emotions. Or if they do, it's very direct, and impatient like, "What do you have to be sad about?" ... "Why you need to talk?"- Kim Wong Keltner, Author of "Tiger Babies Strike Back"
I believe we need to look into emotional and social issues. Everything in this universe is made up of vibrations, basically. As more emotional and social problems surfaced, more negative vibrations are sent into this world, and will affect everyone else. This is not just speculation. It has been shown in quantum physics that everything consists of vibrations and these vibrations interact and affect one another. If we do not resolve these issues, we will send more negative vibrations into our world and made this world a less desirable place for everyone.
That is why this blog is created. I have lived through many negative words that people gave me, including my mother. I have lived through very negative emotions, such as feeling worthless, useless and even wanted to commit suicide. And how did I live through all that?
I am grateful that there are so many inspiring individuals in the public. I read their quotes and books and my spirits would always be uplifted. Now I want to make the same difference to your life that these people had on me.
