Safe and unsafe emotions

Emotions belong in two worlds or in two domains. They are either healthy or unhealthy, productive or unproductive, primary or secondary, direct or indirect.

We may come to think of emotions as purely relevant to only ourselves, but we only need to ask those who are close to us - those in our families and those we work with - and we quickly discover that our emotional worlds are interconnected.

If we are healthy and productive emotionally, dealing with our emotions truthfully, and we can experience primary emotions, we deal directly with ourselves, through being honest. This is always a blessing for others, and it is usually manifest in the ability and practice of getting the log out of our own eye.
