Emotion, in its most general definition, is a neural impulse that moves an organism to action. Emotion is differentiated from feeling, in that, as noted, emotion is a psycho-physiological state that moves an organism to action. Feeling, on the other hand, is emotion that is filtered through the cognitive brain centers, specifically the frontal lobe, producing a physiological change in addition to the psycho-physiological change. ( sources from Wikipedia )
Okay, enough for the science explanation. Generally, can we really control our emotions? It normally depends on the environment of a person when growing up and how he or she was brought up. Some will ending up faking their tears on their pillow or finding it funny and silly. As everyone knows our EQ ( emotional intelligence ) is more important than our IQ ( intellectual intelligence ). So, understanding ourselves is the basic knowledge that we even find it hard to learn.
In a nutshell, I think that a system of identification that includes a recognition of the real differences people at different levels of giftedness feel and experience would be extremely helpful to them in better understanding themselves and developing their emotional intelligence earlier in life before so much confusion and pain have been experienced.
At the end, I enclosed the article with a song from Destiny's Child, " Emotion "
And lastly from a Singaporean chinese singer, JJ Lin's " Actually " ( mandarin song ) ( Yuan Lai )
UNDERSTAND YOURSELF BEFORE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND OTHERS
