Of warmth and cold



The warmth which a roadside beggar feels when he envelops a blanket around his shoulders in the biting cold can be one of the highest forms of comfort he can experience. While he warms his body under the blanket, he feels a sense of gratitude towards the unknown person who left the tattered, torn blanket aside. That gratitude instills a sense of loyalty, a sense of calm and a sense of happiness. The gratitude makes the person burst into tears, tears of joy, sometimes creating a lump in one's throat and subsequently leading to goosebumps.

Human beings have always underestimated their capability to portray emotions. Emotions can move the world. Emotions are the most powerful weapons ever bestowed on a human being, one that separates them from the rest of the species on Earth. Let me take you on a fleeting journey, one which will show what emotions are capable of doing
 

Look at this picture, take in all the details carefully.


Just imagine your self at this pier. The sun is going to set. The rustling sound of water as a yacht approaches from a distance. Chirping of birds, gentle winds and the sweet fragrance of sea water, similar to the enticing fragrance of the earth moments before the first droplets of rain fall on it's surface.Take all this in, close your eyes and picturise yourself at this scene, with all the necessary additions you feel fit. The scenic beauty, the gentle breeze sliding over your face, the fragrance, the rustle of water and the calm.

Let the calm set in...

Let the calm set in...

Let the calm set in...


Every single thing that you feel, every thought and every action you do afterward is emotion. Even the most emotionless people on Earth tend to show emotion at some or the other point in their life. Stress busters are best when they are natural. Nothing in the world can calm you better than calm itself. Calm, accompanied by nature's gifts give a person more satisfaction than anything worldly possible.

Emotion is a big tool which everyone inherently possess. A person who uses this tool to his best would be the person who is most happy in his life. The beggar which I mentioned in the first paragraph will have one of the most comfortable nights in his life; a night which he will remember for all the nights to come.

All the worldly pleasures give a person only momentary calm and momentary happiness. Eternal calm and happiness isn't just possible as calm cannot be appreciated without experiencing turbulence. But when one needs the calm during times of extreme turbulence, nothing other can natural emotions can trigger the 'emotional release'.
