Emotionally Compromised

What does being emotionally compromised mean to you ?

Are we always emotionally compromised ?

Being emotionally compromised is when one acts on an opinion, being driven by an energetic movement, a passionate response to something that moves us.

When we act on our emotions and feelings, our responses will always have our own self interests at heart, in that we won’t have all the facts of the matter, only the outplaying of an opinion which we believe to be correct. Within this there is no logical response to what is the best for all in any given situation, just best for self.

The reaction from another can be tempered with emotion also, hence, feeding into an argument sometimes of epic proportions, where you don’t speak to the person again, and then only later forget what you started fighting about in the first place when the energy of the emotional reaction dies down, and when we look back it all seems so silly.

I see/realise and understand how my commitment to myself needs to be:

-slow down,
-breathe,
-forgive myself and commit to not be drawn into the void of emotional reaction going forward.
