Emotional Baggage
We all have them. It has many faces.
We carry them around us, We store them in the
remotest part of our brain, in the deepest chambers
of our hearts.We have them in our extensive database
of memories. Some are so close to the heart, it brings
out tears at the slightest provocation. Others may
feel anger, very deep resentments and may exhibit
anti-social or antagonistic behaviours .
Shadows follow and haunt many, in their dreams
or waking hours, in unlikely places, unexpected
and intimidating Uncontrollable anger that can lead
to violence can explode without warning.
Others will live in denial and spend their lives
disconnected with the real world. Some will find
blame in everyone except themselves; it’s always
the other person’s fault. What about victims and
the victimizers?
Many are lost searching for something, they can
not identify. Something is missing. A mass of lonely
faces line the crowded streets, sit in public places, in
schools, agonize through the day in the workplace ,
gather at churches perhaps to seek solace. Everyday.
we see a vast sea of sad , depressed and unfriendly faces.
Our roads are open avenues to lash out their frustrations,
thus uncontollable road rage. Scary.
Emotional excess baggage demands a high price.
There are those who succumb to the weight of this
burden, it gets too much to bear. They find no
further reason to keep up the fight. Life loses its
lustre, they find the world cruel, their existence
meaningless.To them, the fight over, if there
ever was one.
There are many who go through life like driftwood ,
let the current take them wherever, it does not matter
anymore. Is our world this cruel?
What causes these emotional suffering?
Broken dreams, broken relationships, failed
careers, lost hopes, betrayals, violations, childhood
trauma, or other forms of trauma ,add
to this health
issues. Social disgrace, financial disasters, poverty
and addictions cast deep emotional scars to the
most vulnerable members of the family and society.
Is our fast-paced society to blame? Add to this
the pursuit of material success, endless toys,gadgets
and exponential advances in technology. Fragile
relationships, weakening family ties, unreasonable
expectations of self and of others add to the
already overstuffed emotionalbaggage .Some carry
them for a long, long time.
All is not lost, if we take a moment to listen to our
deeper needs, beyond the physical . There is a
flood of information, organizations, professionals
and other resources most communities offer. Deep
emotional suffering is a critical issue that can
no longer be ignored, by society and by those who suffer.
There is more to life.
Wisdom of the ages from different cultures, and beliefs
are revived or revised to suit the present psyche of society.
It offers a holistic approach , involving the whole person’s
mind, body and spirit.
The wonders of medical and scientific research are vast,
although pill-popping is not always the best answer.
Take stock of the weight of your emotional baggage.
Healing is open to those who embrace it.
