Whether any of us will acknowledge it, our actions derive from a single source. Of course it does start with the idea, but what if the idea goes against your moral foundation and you did it anyways? What was the reason for it? For some of those regrettable actions, we find them to be illogical, done out of instinct without so much thought as to the consequence or the action thereof. Anger could be a good example of this. When something or someone has upset you like a hitch in a plan or a person's blunder or offense, you generally find yourself gritting your teeth and feel your chest hot as you yell at the circumstance or babble it in solitude. And does anyone know that they will soon find themselves getting angry at something else or end up loathing the person for a reason that others would deem small? This happens quite often.
Of course, all of you are probably telling me that this is just a redundant and pointless thing to discuss. However trivial it seems to you is of no small thing to me, as I am fond in learning all the minds potential. It is the most powerful tool in the world after all. My point is that most people assume that what their heart tells them is the best thing to listen to. In whatever sense you use that repeated phrase, I find that to be mostly inaccurate. The heart is instinctive, leaning towards that which is illogical while the mind is where all logic and self control is situated. To be a little philosophical, the soul is the desire and the body is the cravings that we all endure through.
If the soul and body are not in harmony, or not in sync with each others actions, then the soul will only dream of goals and dreads while the body goes and commits all the things it craves without so much as knowing if that is what the soul desires. Cravings such as hate, entertainment, lust, attention, pride, concoctions, adrenaline, wealth, and etc. Everything that mankind as deemed immoral or unethical, the body wants to take part in it. The soul is moral foundation and worthy desirables. The soul is logic and the body is irrational.
Many of us don't realize that the soul and body are not even in harmony with each other and so the harmonizing is only brief and the body resumes to go on a rampage seeking for purpose. The soul knows the purpose but all it needs to do is compose the body, blocking out any negative urges and replace it with peace. We all choose to hate and seek after temporal things and so we can all choose to go against everything the body craves.
Me for example, I was at work and was supposed to be off at eight, but then I was kept longer than was scheduled. Was I irked, impatient, and angry with the manager? Of course I was. Then it got worse as I ended up finding other things to get mad at like planning a better argument with my sister, telling my parents that they're not paying attention to me, and often yelling at other people around me when driving. I suddenly caught myself in all of this. It wasn't the question of what does my family and that guy in front of me have anything to do with what I'm angry with, it was the fact that for reasons unknown to me that I was urging to be wholly angry for the rest of the night. Taking some deep breaths, I try to calm myself with why I was being kept late, which was a very valid reason, but then suddenly just as I was calm, I found myself angry again at some random thing. Again I calmed, but it was at that moment when I discovered that my body wanted to keep experiencing the flow of anger through my chest and blood.
I mean, some of us like to be angry and some of us are found taking a sample of that anger. Like an addiction, you need something stronger for it to be more excitable. Anger can work in that way. However, one must try exercising harmony with the soul and body if you want to make all your dreams into reality, regardless if it's a career or simply rectifying who you are.
