Justification
Excuse me
If I get caught on this word,
If I get caught on proper usage.
You tell me emotions are justified.
Or not.
Didn't you sit me down once,
Give me a lesson on not judging?
But your hypocritical epitaph
Swings me around in loops.
Nothing you have ever said have I agreed with.
Nothing in your little philosophy of the mind class
Has ever made any sense
Or done anything but force me to see you
As controlling.
Machine.
Obsessed with controlling your emotions
To the point where you don't have any.
OCD in you own,
Special,
Way.
You tell me that a person upset for a week
(Over something small)
Is unjustified but you have no right.
Their problems are bigger
Than you'll ever be.
No right
To judge someone's emotions
Someone's thoughts
And tell them they are wrong.
They are wrong for feeling
For longer than you.
Correction: (you say)
It is good to feel.
But not to feel as intense as you do.
But not to feel for as long as you do.
Sadness,
Anger,
Anxiety,
Are good.
It's good to feel.
It's good to admit.
Admit to yourself that your life is a wormhole of oblivion,
But only for a moment.
Because remember: machines do not feel.
You must control your emotions.
You must force yourself to not feel anything.
You've given me lessons on hiding away my fear;
My pain;
My judgment;
My sorrow;
But then tell me it's ok to feel.
But not for long.
My problem here isn't that you're being hypocritical:
That's just a side note.
I'm upset with what you teach.
You sit in a room with 4 other adults and their kids
And pour philosophy into their heads
In the name of Science!
Through the method of peer pressure.
You tell us emotion can come in justifiable bouts, that weeping over a death for 3 years is too much. You seem to confuse effective with justified and that creates a problem for me because you try to get inside my head and tell me that what I'm feeling is not right. You try to tell me that my emotions are wrong, that I'm wrong, and that the only person who is right is you. You try to explain to me, but every word you say digs you a deeper hole, leads me more to believe I'm right.
That my side is justified.
...
Because you have no right to tell me what my emotions are.
I feel what I feel.
I feel it for a reason.
What I feel might not be effective,
But it's what I feel.
But it's what is real.
And
You
Can't
Change
It
...
I'm justified.
You're justified.
They're justified.
Everyone is justified.
All the time.
There is always a reason behind things.
And your opinion should not run my life.
And your opinion should not ruin my life.
