Flames. We all have within. All we need is a matchstick. Passion, anger, grief or greed Fire devours, without paying a heed. Play with it, only when you know, how to douse Don’t let it romp, untamed, in your mind, in your house.
What you said makes perfect sense. These emotions are indeed a fire and devour indiscriminately. I’m guilty of extreme anger. Although I’ve curbed it a lot, I’m still blinded by a sudden dazzle at times.
It always does well to remember that fire burns. And one couldnt put it better to mean that one should know how to douse the flame.
A very strong message you have sent across.
Well said Maniparna. Emotions, such as Passion, Anger, Jealousy, Grief or Greed, when taken to the extreme are as powerful as fire. These can surely devour us if we do not know how to douse the fire,
Yes, these flames of anger and greed keeps hovering around us and we want to keep distance from such danger zones but as rightly said a small spark can douse everything. We need to keep our mind and heart away from such trap but yes never easy, after all we are all human beings and the weakness and the flaws are very much within us and we keep learning from such fire.
Indeed very profound thoughts and beautifully juxtaposed with the image of flame and fire…
Have a lovely Sunday.
Every emotion should be controlled. I think when we let them go to the extreme, it often brings something undesirable. Just as fire, essential for our existence, but when let loose, it can destroy the creator. 🙂
Thanks a lot Nihar and enjoy your Sunday… 🙂
You are absolutely right Maniparna, emotions are key to our existence but the challenge is how do we give the right motion to our emotion, channelizing is important…allowing the negative and strong emotion to over take us can land us in disaster. We need to keep a tab on emotions going out of control and never easy and we need other’s help and guide to do so…
You too…take care!!!
Flames.
