Surprising Yourself

Human Emotions are a response to an event, to a change in stimuli. These emotions alter according to the situation and over time you get to know your inner self. The emotions that you bring out could then be predicted and expected when they come out. You prepare yourself accordingly and are well aware of them.

However, we have the tendency to surprise ourselves. The human emotion spurts out randomly, out of nowhere to go away from the expected. Once in a while you cry when you are happy, laugh when you are sad, go mum when when you are angry and shout when you are at sedate. Such exceptions break the monotony and makes the life and it's emotions unpredictable. Life, as they say, is random.

These aberrant reactions are not just mere chances but have an underlying reason which we tend to deny. We force ourselves to believe stuff which might not actually be how you feel. You force yourself to believe that failures mean sorrow, but somewhere from the inside you wanted to fail. Fail, because it wasn't something you wanted to go ahead with. Surprised at the unusual reaction you neglect the underlying cause.

This is probably the best time to realise where your heart truly lies. So many times we don't know what we want. Our reactions to such events make these decisions for us. They give hints on what we want and we would be only wise enough to pick on those clues and move ahead. Things happen for a reason, even if they are random. There is a cause to why you felt the way you did.

Ignorance may be bliss, but only for the superbeings who know themselves well enough to complicate themselves by awareness. For beings like us, Ignorance can be fatal. As a matter of fact, the least we know and discuss about is ourselves. We so often take ourselves for grated that our emotions come back and surprise us. It splits you down the middle, tears you apart and leaves you baffled.
