emotionalism & emotionlessism

I would like to explain my personal views about the pros and cons of this vast
subject concisely. This is a collective expression of what i have read and experienced in my on life.

An emotional person is somebody who lets his feelings rule his life. Such people exalt themselves to the skies when they enjoy their emotions and when the same emotion works against them they are completely shattered. They go through this emotional extremities and tend to wear out soon. At times they say things which they actually don't mean in the heat of an argument and regret later for their own action. They are extremely sensitive and can get hurt so easily.

An emotionless person is somebody who had been through crisis in his past and erects a strong wall around him and land up being callous. It might help him but he appears too cold for others. This becomes a problem for him when he gets into a relationship. Because he is unable to express he does not feel or be sensitive to the needs of others. But during his down period the same person would seek emotional support from friends. Its just that he fails to realize others too would need his support to overcome a problem.

Whichever category we belong to, any kind of personality can be projected in a kind and gentle way. Do not hurt people harshly or if you are at the receiving end do not let yourself get hurt. Most of the time when people hurt you they don't actually intend to do so. Its just the perception being misled or a mediator might have failed to do his job successfully. Actually confronting the faults to one another and asking for forgiveness will comfort the wounded souls instead of letting that person down by cribbing to someone else. There is no situation when one is always right and the other one is always wrong. But unwillingness to face or accept personal responsibilities is childish. Emotions should always be submitted to wisdom and time. Do not build your self image on the opinion of others.One of the things we need to impart in others is not hardness but understanding. Do not take an emotional person for granted and if it is work towards setting it right and let him/her go in peace for, emotional person values his emotions more than his own life. And when you allow him/her to walk wounded he/she will turn the pain inwardly and toxify himself. At times one need to break the hardened and unbridled emotions and attend to a person who is in need of your help to straighten his journey. After all life is all about helping one another.
