Don’t underestimate your emotions. If I leave these feelings of hate, resentment, longing, and loneliness inside me, one day they will surely take their revenge. Emotions aren’t harmful when we share them with others. Even if we can’t resolve the root cause, having a friend to share our trivial feelings with helps us endure life’s hardships. When there’s someone other than myself to whom I can devote, we can avoid the storm of emotions and overcome adversity. It’s even better if we have an equal friend to share our feelings with, someone we’re committed to. Without just this one friend, we feel sad, exhausted, and lost. The feelings I hold inside will eventually take their revenge on me. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Genghis Khan, emperor of the Mongol Empire, had a remarkable subordinate general named Yesun Bei. Although Yesun Bei was an extraordinary warrior, Genghis Khan refrained from giving him military authority to command. This decision stemmed from Yesun Bei’s belief that others were similar to him; he became frustrated when they couldn’t perform as well as he could. Without empathy, individuals cannot show respect, and without respect, people do not follow their superiors.
