musings 272



There is a view that one who is stressed can find relief by letting out the accumulated emotions through talk or some other apparently soothing means.
Once in a while that can work..
But definitely there conflicting views about letting emotions go out of control.
True, in some extraordinary circumstance even the rigid scriptures give some permission to openly disply happiness or even grief..
If a lot of water is stored in a reservoir, some sluice valves are allowed to let out a small percentage of water to maintain the balance of pressure on the structure of the walls of the reservoir..
But if the sluices are opened completely the entire water will flow out in great force perhaps damaging the walls for ever..
So it is a matter of checks and balances..
Life is an art in this balancing..
Nothing is entirely right nor anything is entirely wrong..
In extreme cold a couple of spoonfuls of brandy may help.. but if the number of spoonfuls increase, the results can be disastrous..
The defect is not only in the brandy, but in the quantity too..
Talk can be good or bad according to the way we deliver the talk, the language we use and the emotions we control or betray...
Each situation is to be considered on its own merits.
