Tears are weak
Envy is destructive
And anger is wrong
It's almost like we shouldn't feel anything

Anger
It's a protective and primal instict necessary for our survival
It's a very natural emotion to express
And it never has to be hurtful or threatening to anyone
But when anger is repressed it transforms into rage
You control anger, rage controls you
Envy
It's what inspires us when we see someone succeeding
It's what drives us to climb to the top and be the best we can be
It's a very natural emotion to express
But when envy is repressed it transforms into jealousy
You control envy, jealousy controls you

Our fears are our protective instinct
They need to be faced and expressed
Fear is an expression of love which is our highest emotion
The key isn't to stop feeling
It's to start
