Emotional Baggage


We all have them. It has many faces.We carry them around us, We store them in the remotest part of our brain, in the deepest chambers of our hearts.We have them in our extensive databaseof memories. Some are so close to the heart, it brings out tears at the slightest provocation. Others mayfeel anger, very deep resentments and may exhibitanti-social or antagonistic behaviours .

Shadows follow and haunt many, in their dreamsor waking hours, in unlikely places, unexpectedand intimidating Uncontrollable anger that can lead to violence can explode without warning.

Others will live in denial and spend their lives disconnected with the real world. Some will find blame in everyone except themselves; it's alwaysthe other person's fault. What about victims andthe victimizers?

Many are lost searching for something, they cannot identify. Something is missing. A mass of lonely faces line the crowded streets, sit in public places, inschools, agonize through the day in the workplace ,gather at churches perhaps to seek solace. Everyday.we see a vast sea of sad , depressed and unfriendly faces. Our roads are open avenues to lash out their frustrations, thus uncontollable road rage. Scary.

Emotional excess baggage demands a high price.There are those who succumb to the weight of thisburden, it gets too much to bear. They find no further reason to keep up the fight. Life loses itslustre, they find the world cruel, their existencemeaningless.To them, the fight over, if thereever was one.

There are many who go through life like driftwood ,let the current take them wherever, it does not matter anymore. Is our world this cruel?

What causes these emotional suffering?

Broken dreams, broken relationships, failed careers, lost hopes, betrayals, violations, childhood trauma, or other forms of trauma ,add to this health issues. Social disgrace, financial disasters, poverty and addictions cast deep emotional scars to the most vulnerable members of the family and society.

Is our fast-paced society to blame? Add to thisthe pursuit of material success, endless toys,gadgetsand exponential advances in technology. Fragilerelationships, weakening family ties, unreasonable expectations of self and of others add to the already overstuffed emotionalbaggage .Some carry them for a long, long time.

All is not lost, if we take a moment to listen to ourdeeper needs, beyond the physical . There is aflood of information, organizations, professionalsand other resources most communities offer. Deep emotional suffering is a critical issue that canno longer be ignored, by society and by those who suffer.There is more to life.

Wisdom of the ages from different cultures, and beliefsare revived or revised to suit the present psyche of society.It offers a holistic approach , involving the whole person'smind, body and spirit.

The wonders of medical and scientific research are vast,although pill-popping is not always the best answer.

Take stock of the weight of your emotional baggage.Healing is open to those who embrace it.
