In this second part of Free Your Emotions we will look at the sweet old emotion of love.

LOVE

The emotion of love happens to be the most abused of all human emotions. This is so because people do not realise that love as an emotion thrives exclusively in the heart. The moment you subject love to analysis you desecrate it. Love simply should be responded to, and not acted upon.

The age of awareness we now live in has dealt love such a hard blow that people now sit and brainstorm in advance the kind of person they will fall in love with.

The high rate of divorce experienced today I dare say is a direct consequence of this desecration of the love emotion. You have no business planning whom you will love in advance because your brain is full of wickedness and will always come up with the wrong specimen.

The super guru Tony Robbins sat a year in advance and designed with a pen and paper, the kind of woman he would love to marry. Of course he found her. Fifteen years later he found himself in court seeking divorce.

It is not only when you love for the sake of money or looks or power that you act immorally. If you love because you have determined after turning it over in your conscious or subconscious mind that it is right to do so you are as guilty, and you will fail.

Free your emotion. Let it sour. Love whoever comes to you naturally. For many sophisticated people their loves reside in the villages and country sides but they do not know. The super model Kate Moss found love in the arms of a nonentity and for all that is written about her, love scandal is never mentioned.

Does it not make you wonder how your heart goes out to some “insignificant” person you meet on the streets or at social gatherings or just anywhere?

But instead of letting yourself go you begin to rationalise. You consider your “class”. Look at the rate of heartbreak among the so called people of class.

Please if you discover that you feel love for someone, waste no time, show it. And if you are sure that you do not love somebody, waste no time as well, run as fast as your legs can carry you.

Life is replete with instances of great loves that never were and misery that could have been avoided all owing to people subjecting this grand emotion to analysis.

Is it not instructive to see a “sophisticated” person totally consumed with love for some bumpkin who is probably uneducated and even ugly? And they are so happy together that if you find yourself in their presence you spend the whole time working out the chemistry?

These persons responded to their emotions, and when you do you are bound to get it absolutely right.

Like I said before, emotions were given to us for the purpose of guidance. Certain circumstances do not require mauling over, they simply require response and there is no better response than one that is spontaneous and original.

Do not fall into the trap of turning emotional matters such as love over to your brain. You will only end up with the wrong person and realise first hand how worthless money or looks or power or even marital status can really be.

And like I said in the first part of this post, serious life issues do not answer to the analytical mind. If it were so there would today be more answers than questions.

We will conclude looking next at FEAR.
