Objectivity

post #259

You wanna know the truth? You can't handle the truth!

I still remember that line from Smallville. Forgot which episode in which season, but Lex was really cool when he said that line to Lana. Which one is better? Knowing the truth and get hurt by it, or not knowing it and spared from the heartache?

Hmmm....first of all before making a decision, I need to think....how bad do I really want to know the truth? Can I deal with it? Is it really important to know? *sigh...yeah talk is cheap. When we're faced with the situation, common sense and logic were nowhere to be found, plus there're emotions that affect the decision making.

It's not easy to keep that level of objectivity when feelings were getting deeper. And the funny thing, feelings and emotions were relatively inconstant. Unlike common sense and logical thought. But humans cannot really free themselves from emotions, that's why sometimes we got carried away, we got emotional and did illogical things. Some were better at dealing with the feelings and emotions, some were driven by them. Usually after the heat of the moment had passed, the feelings and emotions subsided...we might think it through and realized how silly we acted. And the turnover was quite fast sometimes. Like The Moffatts's song...

One minute you're happy...the other you're sad.

I always thought myself as the first type of person, but I couldn't deny that sometimes my feelings got the best of me, clouding my objectivity, making it cripple temporarily. Bad thoughts invaded and messed up my mind. But again, thankfully after giving a little time, I managed to get the objectivity back. Just give it some times, do not act hastily, and analyze...analyze....

*take a deep breath.......

and if it's still not working well enough...do something to clear your mind, get it distracted for a while....give it time to cool down....

a fine example is soccer game...yeahhhhhhhhh... Italy's gonna face Netherland in their campaign in Euro Cup... FORZA AZZURRI!!!!


one simple reminder....
we may not be able to control our emotions, but we can control our actions
