Emotions are like a bottle of soda.
Leave the cap off, and they spill everywhere and make a mess. Bottle them up and shake... and they fizz until they violently explode.
Finding the right balance between these two extremes is... difficult.
The bottle rolls down a hill.
It reaches the bottom and fizzes like crazy.
You hope someone is going to open the bottle then, but they don't.
So the bottle simmers until it gets kicked down a hill again.
Rinse and repeat.
Until someone opens the bottle.
And so far that hasn't happened.
Leave the cap off, and they spill everywhere and make a mess.
In our society, people make fun of people who wear their hearts on their sleeves, especially males.
Bottle them up and shake... and they fizz until they violently explode.
The longer one holds back emotions, the more those emotions expand until they're uncontrollable.
Emotions are simultaneously the most sensitive yet volatile thing in life.
OK, two questions...
ReplyDelete1.Did you write this at Youth tonight?
2. What is going on here? Am I reading between the lines? Or clearly reading what you wrote?
3. I can't count, there are three questions in #2.
1. Wrote this after youth group.
ReplyDelete2. No worries, just something I've been thinking about. I'll talk to you about it whenever we meet again. :-)
