We FEEL the way we do,
for we believe we need to THINK the way we do.
It’s the thought that turns emotion to feelings.
And of course, that thought fails.
Because it’s limited only to what we know.
Whereas the situation has aspects to it
unknown to us.
We need to gather more data;
but we don’t bother.
With insufficient data,
our thoughts remain incomplete.
And incomplete thoughts go spiral.
It’s funny. On one hand,
there’s the natural need to form a response;
so we can’t shut down the thought.
On the other hand,
we can’t complete the thought either.
So it turns to infinite loops.
That’s the reason we can’t manage our feelings.
The remedy? Get more data.
Walk out of your frames of reference.
Accept that you don’t know what to think.
Check the situation from most possible angles.
And allow knowledge to come to you.
