Exaggerating Feelings Quotes

“The Balanced Person simply does not add worldly affairs to his or her 'tale of woes.' For instance, if a Balanced Person is fired, he or she does not list among his or her problems: wars in the Middle East and Inner City crime. The Balanced Person feels his or her feelings, without distorting, exaggerating, or inflating the feeling to the point where he or she becomes Unbalanced. It is necessary and good to feel all your feelings; it is unhelpful to become the victim of inflated emotional reactions to your problems.”
― Laurence Galian, The Sun at Midnight: The Revealed Mysteries of the Ahlul Bayt Sufis
