Emotion is a subjective term that defines ones mood and personality. People think that just because one does not express oneself then they lack this quality. I beg to differ as the way I see it, people who are overtly expressive are not legitimately emotional. It’s usually just a show to sound affectionate and give them a false sense of security that life is good. This plastic nature has caught on to us Indians in the USA like wildfire and is pretty amusing. A person in the USA will shout out “bless you” when a stranger sneezes at the back of a bus but the second they are in India or in any other country this fake show is lost and life moves on.
Emotions are hard to fathom, I can understand that but that doesn’t mean we go overboard with it. It’s still a mystery to me on how some people get emotionally attached to anything for a matter of fact. Let me also take this opportunity to put it out that there that contrary to the popular vote I am not devoid of emotions. It’s just a matter of principle that I express them when need be. I can live with the label of a “cold hearted” guy among my friends till the time my emotions are heartfelt and genuine. So guys just take a chill pill and learn to bottle our emotions. Let us treat every situation with some discretion and react appropriately as emotions are complex and really hard to deal with. Let us focus our energy to live a better and happier life instead of trying to control involuntary reactions.
