The Poise at the end of a rainbow

Introduction: 
A command has only one answer – YES. A request or a question might have multiple choices. Saying none of them starts the vicious circle of feeling and emotion. An emotional black hole is created.

Poise is the measure of resistance offered by a fluid to its own flow. Literally, this word also means a calm, graceful, confident and balanced manner in which one holds attitude, behaviour and emotions.

Emotion is a strong feeling; feeling is experiencing its effect in physical or emotional plane. It is universal, has no language barrier, and may differ in spelling or pronunciation. What ever be the word the meaning conveyed and the effect caused are one and the same.

The usage of feeling interchangeably with emotion or vice versa or the combined phrase emotional feeling – expresses its dual nature. Fluid flow and the emotional equanimity is measured in and described as Poise, respectively!

Resistance in fluid changes with the external conditions like pressure and temperature, at that instant.
Human emotions are in no way different. Pressure (stored emotions or stress) and temperature (degree of insult/hurt, intensity of arguments and such extraneous factors) definitely play an active role. Natural flow of fluid is from a high point to a lower one. Human emotions flow, also, from a high pressure point (stress) to ….?!

The fluids exhibit two types of behaviour, obeying the governing laws and reluctant to do so, on their own, needing a disciplining hand.

Feelings and emotions are more complicated than the behaviour of a fluid in flow. From A to Z there are many types of positive and negative feelings and emotions. The negative emotions are generally: dislikes, disappointments, defeats, hurt, guilt, sadness, subjugation, anger and hate. The positive ones are: love, affection, happiness, pride and bliss.

Emotion gets expressed in two ways – unbridled and controlled. Bottled up negative emotions erupt like a volcano to damage equanimity of the individual – an avalanche express without brakes. Bitterness is doubled, as both the individuals suffer the after effect called guilt.

On the other hand, the positive emotions envelop like a mist, fall like snowflakes to radiate calmness of the expresser and the receiver –controlled hang gliding. Happiness is doubled.

Fluid and emotional flows are amenable to restriction, moderation and unhindered deluge. The secret is in finding the modifiers.

For the fluid, a non-living thing, man made solutions are available. Internally, the resisting flow surfaces are modified or externally the fluid contacting surfaces get treated – an amicable settlement between the fluid layers and the pipe!

Human being is different and has the faculty of reasoning intelligence and analytical aptitude. Moderation to control the flow of negative energy lies in the attitude or poise of the individual concerned. The individual is free to choose a suitable modifier, be it based faith or physical conditioning or response conditioning or an overall personality development programme encompassing all the above.

A beginning and a focused follow through is only required to slay the demons called negative emotions - feeling guilty about them is of no help, by  collimating the thought frequencies towards the positive energy flow region.

Mind is the seat of illness and cure. Actions are the root cause for generating feelings. A weak feeling fortifies itself in to a weak emotion. Dislikes develop in to abhorrence and this is the point at which abhorrence becomes hate and the ultimate expression of anger.

This inherent behaviour needs disciplining and a little ironing out on the folds in the mind. This conscious attempt to safely defuse the anger, harmlessly, is the cure. Personal likes to love; to joy and then to happiness is the ultimate expression of bliss. Even if it is as a weak positive emotion, building up on it is a wise option.

When fewer muscles can generate a smile, why then to flex a lot of them to gnarl at someone? Once this is accomplished, the iridescent rainbow of bliss will appear at the end, as an el dorado.
