It’s really a question centred around the saying: “You make me feel…..”

Are feelings a by product of external influences that are inevitable and naturally occur as part of our make up, history, upbringing, genetics etc… Do they just arise and are therefore justified within themselves for their existence? and can we therefore use the aforementioned saying as a blame mechanism?

Or…as many new age spiritual leaders keep telling us.. Are we in control of our feelings and cannot blame anyone else… we have complete authority over our feelings and Choose to feel what we do.

Or do you have a different thought?

I’m not really talking about if someone pushes in front of you in a queue..I think those are rather impersonal and superficial feelings.. but more: feelings on a deep level about intimate relationships and issues that carry weight in your lives.
