Art of being indifferent....☺

Emotions & Events are interlinked. All normal human beings are affected as well as effected by events & emotions. Hardly do we witness any change in these normal scheme of things. Effect of any emotion is always subject to its perception by the individual. No matter howsoever good or bad maybe the emotion, but its perception by the individual determines its actual effect. I don't wish to elaborate & dig into the intricacies nor do I wish to play with plethora of words or loaded terminologies.
We all know that no human is emotionally bankrupt nor is anyone a buddha that he remains unaffected by circumstances. We all have a heart that ultimately beats & bleeds for someone. The extent of emotional expressiveness of every individual is different & it can be debated. But the existence of emotions or a concept like emotion can never be debated. One of ways to be emotionally independent is to have zero perception towards any event. Now that remains a theoretical concept with no practicability. But a suave & intelligent way to be emotionally independent is to have perception which isn't guided by the nature of emotion. For example, trust deficit with a best friend can lead to sadness & worthlessness but emotional way to deal is to tell yourself that 'he didn't deserve my trust & it was my mistake to trust him'. The moot point of my argument is that don't let others invade your emotional space.
If you're subjected to some bad emotion, so be it. But develop a mechanism in yourself that tells you 'Life is all about me & myself'. It's about having a poker face outside & a beating heart inside. Happiness is a pre decision we've to make. Because if we're affected by every event then one day that element of original personality is lost. You're born as 'XYZ'. You must die as 'XYZ'. Don't let others' doings change the person in you.
YOU ARE BORN ORIGINAL
YOU DIE ORIGINAL
It's all about being indifferent.
It's all about poker face with a beating heart...😊
