How important are my feelings? I used to know. Now I'm not so sure.
I always found it easy to seek out feelings in order to spackle over my image of self. I was lost in my blizzard of feelings.
Once I decoded my image of self and the interconnectedness of my feelings to my motives and my behaviors, I found that I had an ongoing sublime waltz with my life at stake. I was creating and carrying feelings as the basis of my life 99% of the time.
Isn't life about more than just feelings? I wasn't finding fulfilment from my feelings. Never could. Always confused. Never fulfilled. But wasn't I always doing what I was supposed to do? I had discovered the cause of my chronic anger and upsettness. Upsetness? Isn't that a feeling?
Sidenote: When I die, my feelings, along with my motives, die with me. These are two of the three things I can change about my life, and they die with me, leaving no trace of my success at changing them. What is left are my actions as a chronical of my behavior, which will be how I am remembered.
So, how important is this or that feeling I might have?
