Harmonizing

We are governed by mind, and mind is governed by disturbing emotions of unclear origin. When the emotions appear they have great impact on the individual, and they are most obvious. They feel justified, but they have no other justification than a dream. They are constructs of mind.
If we want clarity of mind, we can seek out the causes for the emotions. Sometimes the causes are good and the emotions justified. If we feel glad because someone else made something good, we certainly are justified in feeling glad.
But if we are glad because someone else made a mistake, our joy is not justified.
To live in strong emotions is attractive for many of us. For some it is like a drug. The strong challenges are sought out, just because they are dangerous and forbidden.
Strong emotions naturally lead to wrong actions, which makes the situation desperate, which calls for more desperate action. This bad circle naturally causes a situation of raving madness.
Exactly in this moment we need harmonizing. It should be nice to break the evil tendency, return to peace and clear vision. Here we need compassion. Compassion is like a gentle massage on the raw brain cells. These brain cells want to take over the situation and do drastic, bad things.
