If you look up for the meaning of the word Emotion in the dictionary, it will tell you that it is "any strong agitation of the feelings actuated by experiencing love, hate, fear, etc., and usually accompanied by certain physiological changes, as increased heartbeat or respiration, and often overt manifestation, as crying or shaking."
When you are a kid, there are mainly only two emotions that you express. One where you are smiling away to glory to show happiness, achievement, success, love, sheer innocence and what not. The other is where you are crying, or even wailing, whether it is due to grief, fear, or just because you got a "no" as an answer.
But as you grow older, you gain experience from various instances and incidences in life and you tend to be more expressive. The number of emotions you express are unimaginable. You have different levels of happiness, from just a mere smile to jumping away and shouting away to glory when you know that you have achieved something significant.
The simple fact is that if you are happy, you tend to mingle with people much more and you come across as a person full of energy. These vibes do percolate into others as well and the environ is much more enjoyable.
But most often than not, it is not the case. There will always be some niggles here and there and always there will be some negative energy flowing around you all the time. These not only make you disheartened but also bring out a series of emotions in you that you generally wish never existed in your system. You mainly express these when you are sad, or lets say, when life teaches you that truth is always bitter. It seldom is sweet. When you come across such incidences in your day-to day routine, you tend to be more subdued, silent, sometimes sarcastic, not wanting to involve yourself in any discussions, and mentally keep recalling these incidences that made you express all these feelings.
The most important thing here is to keep your cool and be composed. You should learn to get through these situations without much damage done. But that again is easier said than done. In most instances, when such incidences occur, you tend to hate the person who caused it and hatred generally turns to anger. And when this happens, it becomes dangerous. It becomes even more imperative that you control your emotions during such phases, especially if the person is your colleague or a beloved one, with whom you are bound to interact day in and day out.
The other emotions we express include one of sarcasm, sadism, fear, love, kindness, gratitude, etc. And each one of us do express all these feelings at one point in our life or the other. We show different emotions depending on what we learn through life. The best thing is that when you need to convey THE message to your beloved, you tend to express a series of emotions. You are happy, yet scared, nervous, with a lot of adrenaline surging through your entire body and this is I feel is a sensation that all of us have to experience in our life. It is the best experience one can have in his life.
But the best I like, or you may call my "personal favorite" is the art of being silent. Silence is really golden. You do not need to be silent when you are happy, or when you want to share your achievements with someone. But silence comes in handy when you are angry at something or someone or when you are sad. Different people vent their anger differently. Some shout directly at a person, some go to an open area and shout. Some have the habit of drinking water to vent their anger. But I feel the best way to handle the situation is to be silent, listen to some good music, concentrate on your work and divert your mind to things other than that which resulted in your being angry. Sometimes, silence is really a boon. As one of my best friends wrote in her blog, titled "saying it silently...", you can express a lot of feelings just by mere silence. You can ruin a relationship or even mend it by silence.
You do not have to express your feelings all the time to convey the message. By not conversing also, a lot can be conveyed. Thats the power of silence. Sometimes, it will be your staple food, with the rest of the emotions adding spice to it.
All said and done, it is important to realise that each person is different from the other in terms of his/her expressions and emotions and it is important for each one of us to respect the feeling of the other person as this is extremely important in any relationship, whethere it is professional or personal. So, learn to respect the emotions of your loved ones as thats the only way you can really spice up your life !!!!
