Negative emotions

    I think we all have moments where we want to give in to our negative emotions, jealousy, envy, greed, hate. Usually it's when we are hurting, when we are most vulnerable, when were being attacked. We want to retaliate, and lash out. We know what's right but we simply wanna choose the easy way, revenge, have the last word.

    Alas if we fast forward and see what plays out if we choose to do so, what do we end up with? Usually we have a brief satisfaction, but ultimately we end up with regret (at least if there is even the smallest flicker of light in your heart).

    It's easy to give in, but it's also addictive and gets easier each time. People think that if they choose it once they can return to their picture perfect facade. But like any addiction one time is all it takes. And i'd wager getting addicted to these emotions can destroy you in so many worse ways.
