Volatile Containment

There are so many things we are in control of in the world. If the volume of music is painfully loud, you need only to turn the volume to end your misery. Perhaps you wish to arrive at a destination in your own time frame, you can speed up or take a shortcut.
What about your anger, your love and your happiness? Can you control those things?


How do you make someone love you? How do you subside your anger when you are wronged? How do you find happiness in a sobering world of anguish? Where is the switch for that? Where are the shortcuts? There is no master control for you. Life is a series of reactions. From the first time we feel, we react. We must make a conscious choice not to.



Therein lies the delima. It is an action we may desire in actuality but have no control over. The switch is on constantly. Pretty simple simple right? Someone wrongs you, you get angry. We all require Zen like control to contain our emotions. You heard right. Contain.


In anger, in love, and in happiness we are all responsible to contain ourselves. We can not control it, only trap it in an endless cycle that will eventually consume us. It is a sentence of death for our souls. It is the price we pay for others. That is the time to decide the value of another person. I value few people this highly, and for those people I gladly pay my toll.

I am contained.
