Raw
Uncooked, unrefined
In their natural state
Our emotions
Are nothing more
Than energy moving
It is us
Who shape and define them
Attach a story
And then we complain
About what they
Do to us
This poem was inspired by a quote from Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche: “Fundamentally emotions don’t bother us, we bother them.”
A curious and intriguing hypothesis. However on reflection so true! Glad I visited.
ReplyDeleteFood for thought there. I try and control my own emotions by using my life's 'yardstick' - commonsense.
ReplyDeleteDefinately food for thought!
