Pain and disappointment work together to form the powerful narcotic of numbness. It produces a false sense of reality and creates a detached awareness from our surroundings. It dopes the emotions into silence and causes the mind to draw a blank over the offenses. You are in a self-preservation mode that is leading you into more danger than what you are struggling to protect yourself from.

Emotions are the seasonings of life. Is there anything that feels better than love? Our ability to experience sensations in our spirit is priceless. Even negative emotions can be used to our advantage when we examine them to gain a greater understanding of our thought processes. But like everything else, when our emotions go unchecked and are allowed to dictate our actions outside of the parameters of reason — we are in danger! Despite how dangerous it can be to lose emotional control, there is one thing more dangerous than this — it is the denial of our emotions. Nothing has a more destructive effect on your emotional and spiritual health than your refusal to face your emotions. In order to deal with them you will create a false reality that keeps you from facing the truth.

Your refusal to face the truth will negatively impact all areas of your life.
