Bullets

You look pretty good down here

But you ain't really good.

We never learn, we've been here before

Why are we always stuck and running from

The bullets, the bullets?

-Sign of the Times, By Harry Styles

Right off the bat, please do listen to this song if you haven't done so already (After reading this post).

Man is a social animal and to maintain any amicable relationship, a person can not reveal every emotion s/he undergoes. Left with no alternative, those emotions either blow up in an unhealthy manner or are buried within the individual, often resulting in mental and emotional misery.

Most people who bury their emotions end up being cheerless but they do somehow manage to put up a jolly appearance. As Mr.Styles mentions, they look pretty good, but they ain't really good. Channeling emotions in a constructive way is something most people fail to master even in late adulthood, resulting in the infestation of several toxic emotions within the soul. This could result in a cumulative toll on the individual's physical and mental health.

Every person, especially in today's day and age, experiences the ordeal mentioned multiple times. However, we never learn. Our emotions are the bullets and just like we can not outrun a bullet, we can not defeat our emotions. It is fruitless to even attempt to do so.

If Sheldon Cooper Ph.D., Sc.D., from The Big Bang Theory, failed to dodge his emotions, what are the chances for us common mortals?
