The word “emotion” comes from the Latin emotere, which means, “To disturb.”
Which TOTALLY makes sense.
After all:
Emotions disturb your mind.
Emotions disturb your stillness.
Emotions disturb your awareness.
Emotions disturb the conversation.
Emotions disturb the listening process.
Emotions disturb the energy field between two people.
Now, this doesn’t mean emotions are bad.
It simply means they’re powerful.
And that if you don’t keep them in check, they will take over.
Careful.
