Emotions are important, that is the truth, however, it is essential to understand that we cannot reduce our entire universe to the emotion we feel at that moment. For example, those people who are hooked on the first stage of falling in love believe that love it ends the moment you stop feeling the nerves, the butterflies in your stomach, the uncertainty... In the same way, those people who suffer from some type of phobia tend to avoid that situation that causes fear, simply because they feel bad in a situation of apparent danger.
It should be understood that emotions they give us information about ourselves. Therefore, try to bet on those feelings that are caused by things that make you feel more alive, free and perfect. For example, in the workplace, success makes you feel good. But such success can only make you feel this way when you have achieved it based on your vocation, your work and also, your values. On the other hand, within human relationships, friendship is a horizon of freedom for the soul. A friend comforts you in times of difficulty and toasts you in joy.
For this reason, in important celebrations, friends they are always there. Starring in shared moments that remain forever in memory. On the other hand, observing beauty also makes you feel good. It can be the contemplation of a work of art, the beauty of the sky, being able to see the beautiful eyes of another person when you are talking to them, the intellectual pleasure of poetry... That is to say, aesthetic perfection in all its nuances and forms.
Pleasure also makes you feel good to the point that the philosopher Thomas Aquinas explained that every man avoids what makes him suffer and pursues what makes him suffer. makes you feel good. Positive thinking also makes you feel more alive, as does joy, excitement, and hope.
