Good bye!


This semester I have decided to say goodbye to the blog with a few entries about the feelings and moods.

The book is called Los sentimientos y la vida afectiva a través del cine and I recommend it to all those who find it funny this topic to read it because it is very entertaining. I hope you enjoyed it. Farewell!

When afraid is strong, the man wants to get out of it but he is not able to find a solution. Despair is in many cases the result of afraid. When trouble is near, we fall into an bottomless pit that holds few opportunities to get out. This would justify that fears are translated into blockage, anxiety, tremor .... The solution is to address this concern, leading to reduce it, we must control our minds, hold our thoughts and focus on the cause that produces it to stand up.

We know that love and fear are two basic mental states. However, fear is very basic but it does not stop being a mess of love.

Did we connect our feelings with our will and intellect?

Our psyche is manifested in three aspects: emotional life, intellectual life and volitional life.

Today's culture puts the spotlight on feelings, disconnecting them of intellect and will. It is also true that we live continually with our feelings and emotions, so it would be wrong to leave them outside, but turning them into the guidance of our conduct would also be a mistake.

Mysteries of the affective world: feelings, emotions, passions and moods.

Our emotional world contains all kinds of trends that occur in our inner affections, feelings, emotions and passions. We experience emotions as something deep, personal and intimate. Feelings and emotions can be used as synonyms because they are related. In the emotion, we find specific and transient reactions, whereas in the primitive feeling we have a more stable attitude.

The passions arise in the mood as a primitive feeling. These bloom in our privacy producing continuously desires and actions that organizes our head. Of the intensity with which we live our feelings, our character is determined as soon as they become the way in which my "self" is facing the circumstances of life.

It is true that feelings, govern our personal lives, in spite of the reason. Those feelings and situations we live every day have to go hand in hand. When things affect us so as scarce as disproportionate we must deepen the strong wind, in order to remedy the fear.

According to Kövecses and Fussell the feelings must be expressed in such a way that is perfectly understandable. It is of utmost importance so that smooth interpersonal relationships are given verbal communication, facial expressions postures gestures, tones of voice among others.

Feelings are an open door to an appreciation of what surrounds us creating and dispensing our conduct and behavior. It is important to to put it at the service of the intelligence to avoid giving an excessive assessment, falling into sentimentality it stops responding to our will. It should be occasionally ironic and laugh about our feelings, not to run into loves and fears unfounded.
