Feelings can be an indescribable moment of madness often followed by a feeling of remorse or sorrow.
Feelings of love, pain, jealousy and passion are swirling around on this planet like an object in the eye of a tornado ready to unleash its power upon an unsuspecting world.
So what is a feeling? How is it manifested and what makes it good or bad? If you truly think about it, these feelings we all have give an incredible dimension to our personalities and define who we are and what we stand for.
In a second and a moment our feelings can change, love can become hate, joy becomes sadness and elation turns to shame.
Can you control your feelings? Can your partner control theirs? This popular adjective is responsible for so many human relationships hitting the wall.
"My feelings overtook me", said Rob to Julie in a moment that would possibly shatter their love forever.
"I wish it had never happened but she took my breath away".
Her heart was sinking as this news of Robs infidelity hit her like a steam train out of control.
Her feelings had gone from peaceful coexistence to devastation in the blink of an eye.
Sadly this picture is not that unusual and the slamming of a door that usually follows, seals the fate of many a feeling or two.
From the moment we are born we are witness to our feelings, that first cry we make is our brand new entry to a lifetime of emotion, ready or not.
Do you and I have a handle on these invisible entities? They run riot through our souls lifting us to great heights then dropping us without regard into a black hole of despair.
Some folks on our path believe they are capable of controlling other peoples thinking and by the use of manipulative mind games, convince these poor souls how they should or should not be feeling.
The end result of these obsessive types is a person reduced to a shell of their former selves Today these types are called control freaks, aptly named I think.
If you are in a relationship with a partner showing these tendencies, my advice is to run for the hills and do not look back.
There have been far too many news reports lately about women being locked up for the better part of their lives and forced into inconceivable acts by men that have imprisoned them.
With so many of these contradictions running through our day is it any wonder people are so stressed.
In a marriage or relationship, the added complication of that little word love can send the senses reeling and all sensibility up in smoke.
We are pretty remarkable to be able to share ourselves with another knowing their experience and feelings have a life of there own.
Having some negative feelings like jealousy, insecurity and anger on a low level can actually make the relationship exciting and passionate.
Watch closely for signs of these emotions causing physical violence to yourself or others, for as at this point the situation has gone beyond the norm and removing yourself from the situation is paramount.
It will be up to the abusive partner to seek help, which is readily available before you can resume any kind of togetherness.
All healing is possible as people recognising their problem has led to their own personal enlightenment and a healthy attitude to relationships.
Remember we walk through this life generally doing the best we can, some unexpected events can happen and our view of the world changes.
What is broken can often be fixed.
We have the capability and will, to try.
We are a product of our feelings and spend a lifetime trying to understand them, today we have the awareness and support to do just that.
