Maybe this is what makes the internet so exciting: the ability to connect you with people, information, products, knowledge, entertainment, with whatever you might desire. It can make you engage with it just to pass the time pleasantly or even to crave it uncontrollably, becoming addicted to it. Where else has this been heard of? Endless options and countless ways to serve your needs. It is always available and always at your command. All this using only your fingers and your mind. A wonderful thing to have the whole world at your feet, without even having to move. To control it and manipulate it as you wish. To achieve, in other words, what is impossible to accomplish with your emotions… Can you not cry if someone tells you not to? Not feel upset after an unpleasant event if they rationalize the situation by saying “Don’t worry, everything will be fine”? Not laugh at a good joke? Or fall in love with the love of your dreams? Emotions are not controlled, like a computer mouse. They are impulsive, uncontrollable, and take over our entire being.
They relate to all objects, people, situations, moments, sensations caused by events, smells, looks, touches. And they are not limited. At least in the subconscious. They determine our behaviors, actions, and reactions. For example, what do a door handle, loss, the small space of an elevator, contact with other people, a house rooftop, and punishment have in common? All can create fear. And this fear can direct your behavior. How? When you are afraid of heights, you don’t go up on rooftops. When you fear punishment, you are forced to be obedient to avoid it, and so on. And while you think that the situation is to blame for what you do or don’t do, the truth lies elsewhere. Inside you. Not that you are to blame. No. In fact, no one is to blame. In life, what matters are not the events, but how you perceive them.
