Examining Emotional Heritage

Examining your emotional heritage Page 157
My family's philosophy of emotion has mostly been based on emotion Coaching. They understand how I feel and help me through difficult situations such as when I'm feeling sad angry or scared.
There are some certain emotions in which I have a hard time to understand but no emotion is more harder to understand than confusion. It's really hard to understand when people are confused as well as its difficult to acknowledge why I feel confused about myself sometimes. I am not even sure if confusion is an emotion but If I can feel it, so it certainly is a type of emotion. What am I confused about though, is the question I should be asking though. Well let's start of with "why are we here?".
" (The answer to the meaning of life is too profound to be known and understood. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life. The meaning of life is to forget about the search for the meaning of life. Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.")
This is what I am confused about. At least for now I know that I'm aware of these emotions .I am confused because I don't understand. Am I confused because I am still young and I dont understand. But i don't think adults understand any better. IDK my thoughts are so deep that I have confused myself with this question. I am confused because I have so many thoughts going through my head that I dont have enough time to analyze them and think about them. Maybe my thoughts can sometimes be distorted with reality causing me to become confused. Quite simply I should stop worrying about my thoughts and just stick to my core values and trust my instincts and do what I believe that If I try my best in everything I do that's all that matters. In theory that is.
I do not feel unjustified with my feelings because I am mostly aware of why I am expressing negative emotions weather indirectly or directly. I think my parents played a huge role in the way I think of thi idea since they always offered guidance and not force me to do something.
Yes I am likely to make the same choices as my parents when turning towards or against people since I believe that their way of educating me was the not the best but the right way and so I don't think that my choices would differ compared to how my parents would react in a similar situation.
When somebody close get's sad angry or fearful I try to approach their feelings that are underneath their behavior." what made you feel this way for you to react like this" I would ask.
I would try to always support them with guidance since that Is the way I have been educated by my parents themselves.
No its better to find validation for themselves. There is only so much to tell them. The rest is for them to find out themselves in order for them to truly undersatnd.
