It can be proven that wounded people wound others. Walk circumspectly among wounded people, their injuries are deeply submerged in their brain's amygdala, and without the time-tested practice of emotional intelligence, you might find yourself scarred by association. Give your associations time to reveal their emotional intelligence or lack thereof; employers measure their associates seasonally, quarterly, and or annually; but ask yourself the question: (Q) WHY haven't you?

We live in an adolescent society, Neverland, where never growing up seems more the norm than the exception. Little boys wearing expensive suits and adult bodies should not be allowed to run big corporations. They shouldn__ be allowed to run governments, armies, religions, small businesses and charities either and just quietly, they make pretty shabby husbands and fathers too. Mankind has become Pankind and whilst __ost boys_ abound, there is also an alarming increase in the number of __ost girls.

Leaving Neverland: Why Little Boys Shouldn't Run Big Corporations

"

Buddha is our inherent nature__ur buddha nature__nd what that means is that if you__e going to grow up fully, the way that it happens is that you begin to connect with the intelligence that you already have. It__ not like some intelligence that__ going to be transplanted into you. If you__e going to be fully mature, you will no longer be imprisoned in the childhood feeling that you always need to protect yourself or shield yourself because things are too harsh. If you__e going to be a grown-up__hich I would define as being completely at home in your world no matter how difficult the situation__t__ because you will allow something that__ already in you to be nurtured. You allow it to grow, you allow it to come out, instead of all the time shielding it and protecting it and keeping it buried. Someone once told me, __hen you feel afraid, that__ __earful buddha.__ That could be applied to whatever you feel. Maybe anger is your thing. You just go out of control and you see red, and the next thing you know you__e yelling or throwing something or hitting someone. At that time, begin to accept the fact that that__ __nraged buddha._ If you feel jealous, that__ __ealous buddha._ If you have indigestion, that__ __uddha with heartburn._ If you__e happy, __appy buddha_; if bored, __ored buddha._ In other words, anything that you can experience or think is worthy of compassion; anything you could think or feel is worthy of appreciation.

This is all possible if we are being truly mindful.

Poor feeling hijacks thinking for self-deception: to hide harsh truths, avoid action, evade responsibility, and, as the existentialists might put it, flee from freedom. Thus, poor feeling is a kind of moral failing, indeed, the deepest kind, and virtue principally consists in correcting and refining our emotions and the values that they reflect. To feel the right thing is to do the right thing, without any particular need for conscious thought or effort.
