One of my recent adventures took me to a care home. I was going to visit my uncle, a man who in his best years had been one of the most intelligent, hard-working people I had ever met. Him and I had never had much of an exchange of words, however our respect was mutual. After much thinking about his illness and how he never showed when he was happy or sad, I came to a conclusion that maybe repressing your feelings is bad for your health. It is something not only that takes away years of your life but takes life away from your years. A quote by Paulo Coehlo came to mind:
Don't hide your sadness,It's bad for your health and you have the right to be sad.
It is not my intention to tell you to go around yelling when you're angry or fainting when happy ( see picture above). However we have feelings for a reason and the proper use of them makes us healthy and balanced.
