Love is fat.
On the emotional scale. I’ve always thought it was weird how emotions kind of have a ranking order of, well, I guess you can say “intensity.” And how strong they are is based on how easily they can change. The harder it is to change that state of being, the stronger that emotion. is.
With that said, I think it’s safe to assume that love would need to be one of the strongest. Love makes people’s flaws disappear. It makes problems irrelevant. Someone can mess up over and over and over again and all the mess ups could be forgiven and forgotten. Love is powerful. This is why break ups are felt to be so tragic. Because a break up is an acknowledging that your love for someone has changed despite how difficult it is for that to happen.
After love, I’m pretty sure that the rest of all the other emotions rank differently for each individual. If emotions reside in the inside of someone’s own mind, why would anyone ever choose to place anything other than happiness at #2? Why place anger or depression where happiness is suppose to be?
And I totally understand that sometimes, people need to be sad or angry. It’s a part of life. But after time has passed, why make it difficult for yourself to change how you feel if what you’re feeling is only bringing you down? Everyone deserves to feel love and be happy.
Let go of bitterness and let yourself feel joy. And hold on to that joy. Put it in one of the highest rankings in the emotional intensity scale. Make it hard for anyone to make you feel anything other than love or happiness. And while you’re at it, put anger and grudge-holding at the bottom. Allow those feelings to wither away. Being bitter will never affect anyone other than yourself and like I’ve just said, everyone deserves to be happy.
