 * Assignment: Write at least 4 paragraphs explaining four different emotions that may be negative, but that you closely connect to? Why do you connect to these emotions? What triggers these emotions? How can you utilize these emotions for a beneficial manner?**

Sadness is one I closely connect with. Sadness does have a good purpose if used correctly and felt correctly, but I am aware that I feel it in excess. I am often sad because of what I see. I am able to sense emotion and thought easily and it grants me insight into some of the greatest suffering in the world. After you see so much it starts to make you sad even though you know things get better and that good is the greater part of life. Its the sorrow of the ages. Fear I connect with pretty well. I don't fear death or injury. My fear is what I see when I look out into the dark. Its the fear I suppose of myself. Fear of losing meaning in my life or screwing it up too badly to be fixed. I control it to be sure. I am studying it carefuly for understanding and possibly a solution or tool but that is what causes fear. Its the unknown of myself, my greatest danger. Anger I feel a lot of. When you suffer it is your greatest weapon of survival. Keeps your spirit from breaking. Considering the suffering I have personally been engaged in on a daily basis I require doses of anger to prevent myself from sinking into depression. An emotional alchemy response like you are teaching. Self pity causes inaction, anger causes action. It is an obstacle destroyer and a useful tool. Hatred is when my anger goes too far on something. I consider Hatred a unique brand of anger. Something like the difference between cocain and a hybrid LSD/Heroin drug for the emotions. It is extremely powerful. Potent and destructive but able to be focused in ways Anger cannot. However it runs the risk of addiction and serious damages to the body.

Usually these emotions are all triggers that help me rise out of Apathy. I have depression issues and these are the ladders I often climb out with. I can use these emotions to cause action. Fear can motivate me to do better work, Sorrow I should avoid because it is an action depressant actually (but it might help me clear some of the frustrations out occasionally), Anger will help me face my challenges and break my blockages, and hatred will be in reserve for something worth dying to destroy. If I find it I will have the hatred ready for sure.

Hello Sam)(ael,

It is often said that without sorrow, compassion wouldn't exist. Sorrow can be felt in one manner, but can be used to change an individuals mind and attitude in two manners.

Manner 1: When an individual see's the world, he see's people screaming for happiness, help, and a way out. An individual can see himself as simply one person, not able to do much to this large world, and he continues to see himself as unable to help.

Manner 2: When an individual see's this same world, they can become sad, and use it as a form of determination to get the job done. They can use this sorrow to gain a form of motivation. They don't see themselves as a simple individual, but as a person with a cause and goal.

Which are you? Are there other manners?

A great anagram for Fear that I live by is "Fake Evidence Appearing Real." You may have heard it before. Its a great quote. The idea that your meaning or purpose will suddenly "leave" you is the same thing as your goals leaving you.

Often times, Goals create purpose. What are some goals you have in your life right now that your afraid motivation or determination will leave you suddenly?

What have you found in analyzing your life?

One of the larger myths in life is "Anger is evil, beneficial, or bad." What do you use as your definition between good and evil. Often times, comparable benefits define good and bad. In this case, Anger has been very beneficial to allow you to continue living life.

Remember, though, that anger can often times lead to hatred. Its all about balancing yourself, and aligning yourself on the perfect area of anger.

Are there any area's that anger hasn't been beneficial for you?

Hatred is a limitation in people. When people have "hatred" within their lives, they are only limiting themselves. When you hate someone, you burn bridges that may be beneficial for you, as an individual that needs to progress.

Where has Hatred limited or stopped you?

Remember that there is always a balance between two emotions that is needed to perfectly take action.

Sorrow - Depression Anger - Hatred Fear - Phobia
