Understanding Human Emotions

The emotions that stem from your thoughts are the product of your point of view, your underlying beliefs and the amount of power that you put in them in the form of faith. In case you are trying to alter your emotional state by altering only your thoughts, you will never be able to succeed. Attempting to alter your emotions without changing your viewpoint, faith investment and underlying assumptions will probably fail. It will be like building a chair with a single leg and expecting this to give you the support that you need. If you want to change your emotional reactions, emotional state and put more happiness into your life, it is a must that you change your point of view and recover your faith from the false beliefs that you have

The emotions’ intensity that you create during that moment will depend on the amount of faith that you invest in the assumptions and beliefs that support that thought.

Your emotions are a powerful energy form and they come from faith, a kind of personal power that can turn your thoughts to a belief. Thoughts have no power but beliefs have the power of the faith that you have. Thoughts are not enough for creating emotions.

Another thing that can affect your emotions is your point of view that you use when observing a thought. Comedians have a humorous perspective regarding tragic events that can make you laugh when you look at it from their viewpoint. Politicians discuss a similar situation using a viewpoint invoking a feeling of righteousness or patriotism. Meanwhile, the point of view of the victim looking at the similar situation will cause him or her to feel sad.

Obviously, there is something more than subject matter or thoughts involved in creating emotions. In a way, something in your point of view can affect the emotions that you create.
