I am not a sad human
I feel sadness
But my life is not sad.

Some humans
who have a poor one on one relationship
look for companionship with others.
Compensation.

Some humans are dependent on parents
some humans are oppressed
Some humans are oppressed by parents
Some grown up humans -feel like 'a child'.

As an older human
this is not ok
this is painful.

Some humans cannot speak
feeling words.
They get lost in clichévilla
they are out of touch
with their own richness
riches called 'feelings'.

Unless we are in touch with feelings
understand them
feel them
value them
(even the painful ones)
and not run from them
treat them as signals
welcome the signals.

Unless unless we journey in those places,
we have feelings controlling behaviour.
The feelings surges tell our mouth what to say
more importantly,
they control body movements,
and more important,
facial expressions.

Feelings are with us to feel
to love
to wave to
hold hands with
nestle up to
but not be controlled by.
