emotions as weapons - alive why

emotions as weapons

emotions are intended to be guides for behaviour
but as they are so widely misunderstood
they are able to be misused
so they are widely misused
most people regularly misuse emotions
and some habitually misuse them

a common form of this
happens when negative emotions " possess" a person
which is almost a routine function of emotions
then the harm done to others leaves a wake of destruction
others are affected, hurt, offended, aggrieved
when this behavior causes an almost inevitable reaction from its victim
more emotion, eg anger, shouting, indignation etc are used
by the perpetrator
this is used to silence the victim and close the argument
most people are aware of their ability to do this
those who use this method frequently are basically sociopaths
it is well known that many sociopaths rise to stardom
in their field of endeavour by this method of intimidation
which generates tacit support
by dint of the victims fear of emotional reprisal
the same applies in families, marriages and all partnerships / relationships.

those who are unaware of what
they are doing with their emotions
or of what their emotions are doing with them
are always prey to this behaviour

since one of our goals, rewarded by happiness
is being successful, dominant, excelling, etc
it is no surprise that many take this happiness
thinking this is a good deal
and they are able to be unempathic enough to
leave their victims unhappy

this is an example of how the different goals
rewarded by happiness
can be in conflict
the outcome of reasonably shared happiness is not necessarily supported
