Inspirational Memoirs

Emotions are powerful, they have the capacity to move one to action. Emotions are unstable, fleeting and can blind one’s thought processes to the glaring reality of issues. Emotions are not only the spark that ignites controversy, they also fuel it thereby enabling the embers of the flame to grow larger and wilder and spread a great span. Controversy arises when emotions take precedence over facts. Emotions attached to action leads to the spanning of a complex web around one causing entanglement and rendering one helpless, at the mercy of the prevailing controvertial circumstances brewed by uncontrolled emotions. Beneath all the murk and the mess is the solution found in the facts. Often times, a neutral party is appointed to mediate between the parties that have the discrepancies causing the conflict. To provide the necessary solution, examination of the right facts is required without any emotions being attached to them. Facts are stable, unwavering, consistent. Their examination fosters clarity and objectivity in arriving at the best possible solution. In order to arrive at the facts, one must dig through the mess created by emotions and arrive at them. The facts put sand over the raging embers of controversy, stifling it of air required for continued combustion therefore putting a stop to the confusion, the conflict and confrontation that comes packaged with controversy.

So where does the controversy lie? It lies in uncontrolled emotions. When emotions trample over facts you make a toxic cocktail called controversy which affects everyone who partakes of it. The right facts matter and should guide in decision making.

Have a fantastic week.
