Feelings...whoaa...feelings..

The magical thing about writing stories or poetry is how it makes me feel.

You cannot have a feeling (emotion) without first having experienced a thought. A feeling is a physical reaction to a thought.

Simply put, if you believe that things or people make you unhappy, you are inaccurate. YOU make yourself unhappy because of the thoughts that YOU HAVE about the people or things in your life.

You can begin to think of yourself as truly intelligent on the basis of how you choose to feel in the face of trying circumstances. Life struggles are pretty much the same for each of us. Everyone who is involved with other human beings in any social context has similar difficulties. Disagreements, conflicts and compromises are a part of what it means to be human. Those who recoginize problems as a human condition and don't measure happiness by an absence of problems are the most intelligent kind of humans we know.
