Attitude and Emotions a Powerful Lesson
When someone is doing something or is about to do something, in a way we don't want it to be done and when we are not able to accept it, we become angry. However, when someone is doing something or is about to do something, in a way we don't want it to be done and we are able to accept it We remain tolerant. When someone has something which we don't have, or someone is able to produce the results which we are not able to produce and we are not able to accept it we become jealous. When someone has something which we don't have or someone is able to produce the results which we are not able to produce and we are able to accept it we get inspired. When Someone is present in our thoughts, but if not physically present and we are not able to accept it We say 'I am missing you'. When someone is present in our thoughts, but not physically present and we are able to accept it We say 'I am thinking of you'. Then emotional equation is quite simple. Something + Acceptance = Positive Emotion
Something + Non Acceptance = Negative Emotion So, it is not 'Something' or 'someone' who is making us feel positive or negative, but it is our 'acceptance' or 'non acceptance' of something or someone, which is making us feel positive or negative. It isn't the world but the quality of our response to the world (acceptance or non acceptance) that determines the quality of our emotions. Next time we feel disturbed with a negative emotion, instead of asking who or what is disturbing us, we will examine who or what we are resisting (not accepting) that is causing this disturbance in us.
We will replace resistance (non acceptance) with acceptance, and the negative emotion will turn into a positive one. Emotional management begins by stopping to blame that 'something' or 'someone' and starting to take the responsibility to respond to life with

Greed, revenge and envy are 3 of the 7 deadly sins that are most of the time expressed through violence. But at the very beginning of the sins, we started it through our anger that we cannot control. For example: revenge is caused by anger, envy is jealousy and greed can be caused by fear. Fear is an emotion that is used as basic survival mechanism, but has also proven that it can lead to an act of violence.

    Jealousy is a part of the world that people as a whole tend to ignore. We as a group of individuals don't want to admit to ourselves that we feel insecure, and want to be in someone else's position. Throughout history a lot of the wars that occurred happen because of rulers being jealous of what other people have. A couple of examples would be the Revolutionary War, and the American Indian war.

    This definition encompasses a wide variety of expressions and behaviours, such as reminiscing about the deceased, holding on to their possessions, sensing their presence, communicating with them, or using the deceased as a role model to guide behaviour (Marwit & Klass, 1996; Tyson-Rawson, 1996). Diverse mourning rituals and the creation of memorials to honour the deceased are also considered among the manifestations of continuing bonds. Focus has shifted, in the bereavement literature, from theories that assume severing the attachment bond to the deceased is the ultimate goal of overcoming loss (Freud, 1917; Raphael, 1983), to ones that suggest a continuation of the bond might lead to more successful coping (Klass et…
