Are you Intelligent or emotional? Are you emotionally Intelligent or do you exhibit Intelligent emotions? Let's try to understand and explore.
I am writing this post neither because I am emotional right now nor to show off my intelligence but to share my thoughts on the indispensable characteristics of living beings - the emotions and the Intelligence.
We all are aware of what emotions are, but at some point of time in life we all wonder as to why do we get emotional - Don't we?
Emotions are natural responses to certain situations, circumstances, people or things. Every one has different triggers to emotions and different levels at which their emotions get triggered. Some one may have well emotionally balanced mind but I personally refuse to believe that there could be any human, animal or any other living species without emotions. And I really find it too impractical and unreal when I read posts and suggestions saying things like you are the master of your emotions or things like you don't have the power to control what others say but you have the power to decide whether to get emotional or not. So funny! What would the person that wrote all the above do if I write some crap about him under the above preaching of his? Will he keep quiet, not accepting my words? May be yes but to what extent? What if I repeatedly try to trigger his emotions? Well, I am pretty sure that at some point or the other he will definitely lose his calm. That is the fact, the truth and the reality of emotions.
Guys usually make fun of girls because they are emotional or they exhibit their emotions too fast but an intelligent guy would know that Intelligence can't overpower emotions or vice versa. In fact Intelligence becomes almost nil when a person is emotional that is the reason why a human can't make the right decisions when he is emotional. So what am I trying to say? I believe that emotions and Intelligence go hand in hand and complement each other. Emotions and Intelligence affect each other. Intelligence is shadowed by emotions and emotions are shadowed by intelligence based on the ability and levels of triggers of a person. But it is not possible to nullify either the emotions or the intelligence totally. At times we require to disguise our emotions as intelligence or with intelligence and keep them in store until it is the right time to let the emotions burst out.
Emotions and Intelligence are in fact like a game of chess in life. A person who knows the right move at the right time is the winner. We need to be intelligent enough to control our emotions when needed and also be enough emotional to avoiding taking advantage of our Intelligence or in harming others using our intelligence. So it's all about being emotionally intelligent and exhibiting intelligent emotions. A perfect man is not some one without any emotions but the one who knows when, where and how to manage his emotions intelligently. We can always avoid regrets of future and the guilt of having done something wrong by trying to keep the triggers of our emotions as high as possible.
Don't over do or under do. Maintain a perfect balance and healthy levels of emotions. Don't neglect emotions because of Intelligence. Strive for success but also live life. A minute spent will never return. A person once lost can never come back. Some beautiful things live for a short span. Enjoy those while you can. Life is very uncertain. Live every day as if it was your last day. For example, if it was my last day, I would never fight or argue with some one or hurt and neglect some one. I would also not get angry at some one even when they are wrong because it's my last day and I don't want to waste it in anger or some thing useless. I would rather utilize my time in a beautiful manner on things that give me pleasure and happiness. I hope I am clear. So, what do you think about this? And what are the ways to control our emotions when needed?
