Why emotional drama?

Why emotional drama?

The husband and wife gifted themselves a new car for their first wedding anniversary. They drove downtown, watched a movie, and finally returned home. They didn't have the garage facility. So the car was parked in the street. To their utter shock, when they woke up the next morning, the car was missing. The car was stolen. First car, first wedding anniversary gift, and they had enjoyed the car for just a day. The wife couldn't take it. With misty eyes she sank into the sofa. The husband too was a little jolted, but he said, “The car is lost. You can feel heavy about it. You can take it easy. Either way the car is lost. Then, why not take it easy.” She gave him a cold stare and the moment passed.

A logical question: When the car, how can anyone take it easy? But what else can you do? Feel heavy, if you want; take it easy, if you want - either way, after the emotional drama, what has to be done has to be done. The police complaint has to be lodged; the insurance has to be claimed… what has to be done has to be done.

You left the milk a little longer than required on the gas stove. The boiled milk is beginning to overflow from all sides of the vessel. Scream, wail, screech, get tensed, and let your BP to shoot up… after all the emotional drama, now what? You will switch the stove off, offload the milk vessel and clean the kitchen countertop. So, eventually what has to be done will be done.
Here we are not discussing about not being emotional, but about avoiding the dramatic emotional reactions. Emotions - yes. Emotional drama - no!

Emotional maturity is not about avoiding emotions, but it is about avoiding the emotional drama. Anyways, what has to be done has to be done. Then, why the drama?

very true..... but the fact remains fact..... we all are human being we can preach, we can teach but we cant follow..... its very rare to see a person who act or follow what he belief or teach..

If u are participating in a race and at the last moment without any reason you fell down, then..... (reaction)..... that is emotional drama.... which will be continued for few days...

Another thing, why is it so that all entrepreneurs cant teach in a class as a faculty can..... why people who have logic to make himself understand but he fails to make others understand.....

So its not emotional drama, its a natural feeling and i feel it should come out as it want to be... otherwise we all will be like ROBOT where we know how to execute the predefined commands installed in us, but specifically without emotions.....

That's it, now feel, after reading it how u r feeling.
