Emotional being v/s Bodily being - A guide to be "Good human"
Emotional development or "emotional intelligence" is the term used popularly , it is how you sharp or add wellness to your emotional being . It is unquestionably one of important stage to become a good human being.
First , let's understand the problem why an human being becomes a bad or insensible human being.
The problem starts when all our beings are not developed equally and especially bodily being is developed too much.
Bodily desires are infinite . They cannot be gratified completely ever , for example: a boy wants a cycle, a cycle guy wants a motorcycle , a motorcycle men wants a car , car guy wants expensive cars , and then private jets and so on . If you still feel that this is not correct just think yourself ! Was there any moment in your life when you felt like you got everything and you stopped there? Or ask any person . Certainly, No! You always wanted to buy new clothes even if the old ones were enough for you . In summation, bodily desires can never be fulfilled wholly.
One more thing to understand here is this , the capitalist society we made , this aids the bodily desires. It had flooded the products in market . For instance , some people have 100 pair of shoes! And he can still say he wants more !! And how can he get that? By working . So a race has started where everybody wants to earn more just to satisfy something which can't be satisfied at all . But why they do so? Because they are unaware that bodily desires will never be fulfilled or has considered bodily being as supreme of all beings.
When this bodily being overpowers itself , it underpowers the emotional being. Let's understand it through an example , you are driving on highway in your car and you see a accident happened across the roads , do u stop? Or when you see two people fighting on road , do you stop them? No! Why? Because you don't have got enough time , you need to hurry to you work . In this capitalist world no one has time everyone is busy in making money to gratify bodily pleasures.
When you live in such a world who is always in hurry how you supposed to develop deep emotions like love! Yes , emotions takes time to develop . That's why our emotional being never grows and we let those two people fight always.
How to fix it?
Certainly , I consider religion as a good source to control these bodily desires . In islam you do ramadan you leave eating pleasure and dress just a simple white attire . In Hinduism , the fasting is very common on Monday and Tuesdays . In Buddhism you are told to live a simple life . Jainism even goes a step further they forsake clothes as well , travels naked cause they want to end their body desires.
What I suggest is not to go so harsh but to follow a medium way , control your bodily desires , wear simple clothes , eat simple foods - no one dies without eating burger and when you will follow this you will realise that to live a simple live you don't need to earn much. Then extra time you will be spent to improve your relations now you will always stop your car to help person who met with accident.
And that's how values like trust , empathy, compassion and emotions like love are developed. That's how you achieve a love emotions which will be selfless like religion describe "the Godly love"
I try to stop a fight when I see 😁 btw nice take! I want to say that I get fulfilled by my desires often, which are mostly hobbies in which I'm always racing to excel and after reaching a certain level, I'm fine to just leave it there.
ReplyDeleteHobbies are mental desires like playing chess
