People say, “I’ve taken wrong actions because of my emotions,” while also arguing emotions aren’t messengers. But here’s the real question: When you took the wrong action… did you actually know what was underneath the emotion before you reacted? Did you know: - the anger was pointing to a violated boundary? - the envy was pointing to a desire you abandoned? - the anxiety was pointing to fear, uncertainty, or overwhelm? - the grief was pointing to something you deeply loved? Or did you just react to the feeling without understanding the message behind it? Because if you never understood what the emotion was trying to communicate, then maybe the problem wasn’t the emotion itself. Maybe the problem was acting before decoding it. I’m genuinely asking people to think about this.
