Way beyond the linguistic
appropriateness, I was quite impressed by the emotion we know as
anger!
We can become angry, not needing to
carry it like a luggage.. Where as that hate, we have to carry it...
Fortunately (or not, I don't know), but quite often the carrying of
that hate or having it with us, in us, is as light as the credit card
in our wallet... We can avoid 'showing it off' unless the mind
announces 'match found' on the outside! ... Somebody spends a lot of
money on a palatial house, but is unfortunately required to
'negotiate' the drive out of that place through a stinking street
where stink comes out of an ill-maintained, but heavily used public
toilet, this person actually builds the stock of hate for that stink,
if this person is basically a that-stench-hater ... being required
to pass through that street for even jogging/morning walk etc... (if
the enemy of this person is living at the corner of the street, the
hate-stink is subtle but much-more-stronger within!).. And yet, it
(the memory even, of this hate for stench) does not really interfere
with enjoying the stay at a 5-star-hotel, where the attached toilet
is as clean as a good-kitchen (this person does not remember even
that the hotel too has a toilet which is 'effectively' for
public-only!)...
Not so with Anger-Maharaj... Anger
blends to enable us to 'become' M/s.Anger ... the mom tells the
kid, 'Don't go near your dad right now... he is...'..!!! (We
affect even the people whom we love when we 'become' angry... where
as, when we are exclusively talking to a person whom we love, we
almost forget the other fellow whom we hate... the hate for the
other person is sitting inside our wallet of negative emotions, like
that credit card!)...
When we 'become' a loving being (not
just on a part-time-job), even the person whom we hate finds us a bit
mild, when he approaches us ... that person has to work hard afresh
to invoke the hate at that original boiling/melting-temperature in
us... We have jealousy, and feel we 'become-jealous'..
Fear too, is something that we carry...
even a kid carries it... the earliest of negative emotions to
manifest, even while a child... is that fear.. In fact, it is the
fear that goes into a fast-forward to have or become other negative
emotions... (The positive emotion is just love, which translates
into joy, humor, smile, help, accommodative-ness, flexibility,
amenability... etc when the situation needs us to emote... Alone on
an island right from birth, a person might just evolve into a loving
being, but the expression might not show off... a stone-like face..
waiting for somebody to help to emote (like that Jane, who taught
Tarzan... how to smile... even while helping the heroine, the
expression on the face of Tarzan looks 'blank-like'... Tarzan knew
love from nature, and other wild animals who tamed him, and while at
it, became tame with him!... It is just a story, a fiction, but
allows us to imagine in that direction a 'possibility'!)..
Yours, in becoming,
