emotion

Jesus showed emotion, but he did not conduct himself by it. When he prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, when he met Mary and Martha after the death of Lazarus, when he overturned the tables in the temple - all are ways that we see the emotions of Jesus. However, there is a difference between feeling emotion and letting that emotion control you.

So when is emotion appropriate in our own lives? We certainly do not want to become devoid of
it or we would all be as robots. It is important to realize that we do not need to be at the other end of the spectrum either - allowing emotion to govern our lives and decisions. Is there a middle ground between too emotional and not emotional enough? How do you find it?

I find it hard to draw a line where it needs to be as far as this subject is concerned. As I was browsing on Twitter today, I came across someone named "redrev," and this is what he had to say (in 3 tweets) about the subject: "If guys need covenant eyes for sexual pornography where is for girls with emotional pornography things like twilight, sex and the city... [create] unrealistic emotional expectations on guys just like sexual pornography creates unrealistic physical expectations on women... Both are equally poisonous and are a distortion of the truth. One is culturally [acceptable] a deemed as "that's just how women are" sad."

I have to admit that he has a point there.
... just a little something to think about.
