Do we have the ability to see and think deeper and longer before we choose an emotional response or is Hurt an instinct outside of our control?

Great movie^^If I fully respected myself I would regulate myself better than any nuclear reactor ever built. I personally allow destructive virulent code into my psyche that I know is harming me.
All One Or None
An emotional scale I like came from Buddhist teachings
Pleasant Neutral UnpleasantWhy do we/I choose to suffer.

It has taken a lot of bravery and exposure to tons of thinkers to even create that question…
So, I understand these questions are like hearing the ocean inside the seashell…a far gap distance apart
My hope is that future generations are taught more about choice and how we cannot run from the we we create
I understand more now how Krishnamurti was trying to explain there is no future that does not include right now. Right now is when we must be the change we wish to see in the world.
I have been living in a true prison of mental shame and physical injury…
Why is it harder for me to focus on the good than the bad?
In truth I feel as though I wasn’t trying as hard as I could…maybe like Job.. or the guy who gave up just THREE feet from one of the biggest gold mines…sold it for cheap and left town…
I told the old man in the park
“Some people think Self Love sounds selfish”
He replied with a voice as kind as mother Theresa
“Why its the most selfless thing a person can do”🙂
Thank you for giving me a place to be mindful
August 10, 2013 at 9:50 pm #40168SunflowerParticipantI believe that we don’t make the choice initially to “hurt”, something done, said, or imagined has entered our being and the hurt or ache, whether mental or physical is the feeling/result that gives us life. If you don’t feel pain or hurt you aren’t alive, not that you have to be hurt or feel pain to be alive, I think everyone has felt hurt at sometime in their life. We are awakened to either make a change or stay where we are, if choices are to not make any changes, to make our life or situation better, I think then we are chosing. I believe that to tell someone they made the choice to hurt would add a little more to their plate than they need. I also believe it is easier to focus on the bad in society today, but there is a difference in what we think and how we hurt. Something in our past that has hurt us mentally and physically stays in our memory for a lifetime, somethings we will never forget, but we can chose where to put it. I don’t know if I am making sense here, but I think our minds are like computers, we can put more good things in that are better than the bad and sometimes those bad things get smaller in proportion in our thoughts of them. It is sometimes easier to stay where we are than to make great changes that in the end will benefit us much more.
