a rather reflective post

Well, there goes another week. Though this is but a portion of the hectic life that we are currently facing, i still want to thank God that a week of toils and labour has passed. Had a good and relaxing time away from all these vanities in church yesterday and also during dinner. Hopefully this will renew my vitality and 精神for the week ahead, for the next 5 days wont be easy.

Hmm.. just want to start up our thinking process abit by discussing one of the greatest internal conflicts that us humans have(or at least the author of this has): logic vs emotions; logic, as what you know based on principles and knowledge acquired from teachings in your mind, and emotions, as what you truly feel in your heart.

Have you ever at times feel that you really want to do or express something out, but deep in your mind, you know that you must restrain yourself and should'nt do it, for you know that it isnt 'right'? (And i'm not referring to 'less complex' instances where you cannot control a swear word that comes up from your mouth) Like, when you really really want to say/do/express/tell something but you know you shouldnt, for your mind tells you that it is not rightful and the consequences may be dire? For example, You are dying to tell the truth about something to someone, but you know it will hurt that person or affect the person's mentality, or You want to have a closer relationship with someone, but you know it is not suitable, and lawful, for someone your age etc etc. I'm sure you have.

At times, it may hurt. It may boil the blood. But you know one thing: you shouldnt. Or else...

Is this but a natural cycle that develops as one comes into maturity? Or rather the over-thinking of the mind on these events that one is facing?

How can one curb this strong clash of ideals of principles and feelings within oneself, and gain control of oneself, so that at the end of the day, one may know and still be reassured and glad that what one does is the correct thing?

What say you?
