Re: How are you feeling today
SO you dont think that there is even a sinlge depressed flower girl in the world or a happy mortician...
I said earlier that feeling good has nothing to do with not being sensitive
If you are talking about exceptions then surely I have seen a gorkan digging grave while singing ' aa a mosum sohany , jia nahi many to chutty lay kay aa ja balma'. Sure.

Re: How are you feeling today
I am too drowsy to work today thanks to the Ind-Aus finals yesterday......luckily my boss is super understanding and she permitted me to leave a little early today !!
Re: How are you feeling today
Sometimes I feel so great and happy...without reason....I like that feeling the best!!
Re: How are you feeling today
How can a mortician control the stanch of dead bodies all around him or a flower girl change all the good smell of the flowers all around her into odor ? Then the customers coming in, the flower girl gets most of the customer who are happy and want to cheer someone else she has to smile to them. But mortician gets all the people who have a very somber mood because they lost some loved one he has to control his smile, he cannot even show a trace of smile on his face. Can he ?
Sure, the environment, circumstances, even the weather controls our temperament and attitude, but our mind is like a computer...we have all the ability to program it to work the way we want it to.
Making a conscious effort to be in control of our emotions is the mark of a stable mind.
People who work in funeral homes have a choice to work there. If the environment is pulling them down so much, they can change careers. A friend once told me that some morticians feel like it is their job to embalm/preserve a dead body in a way of offering a great service to the departed. They treat it as an art, and actually love what they do not in any sick sense.
Abraham Lincoln said: "Most people are about as happy as they make their minds to be."
Dr. Matthew N. Chappell, a renowned pyschologist says: "Happiness is produced not by objects, but by ideas, thoughts and attitudes which can be developed and constructed by the individual's own activities, irrespective of the environment."

Merey aapa what is your point ? It takes a lot of time to tune out the environment you are in . The brain does not have an on and off switch or a dial . You can not change the dial from gloomy , to sad ,to depressed , to happy , to very happy.
It takes lot effort to start feeling opposite to what your environment is forcing you to feel. No appa ?
P.S: I like calling you appa , I never had an appa , I hope you will not mind ? I am sure you are much younger than I am , but you are so wise as I wanted my imaginary appa to be. Sometimes I call my daughter appa when she says something very wise although she is only 7.

You are correct in that we don't have an on/off switch. Acquiring emotional stability is a process. It definitely cannot be accomplished in a day or a few hours. However, a conscious decision can be made and then a few steps can be taken from time to time to control how we feel, how we think, and most importantly, how we react to situations.

No no, I am not a professional trained in this area by any means. We read a lot of books on these kind of topics. The books have helped not just in day to day life but at work as well.

Mostly, I feel angry and evil minded. But if it was up to me, I'd prefer to feel evil minded and angry.
