‘THOUGHTFUL NAVIGATION OF EMOTIONS IN LIFE’

Life is like a game of chess.

You can win it or make it a mess.

Unlike playing on a chess board.

Where one’s opponent’s move affects one’s score board.

In the game of life,

One can prevent oneself from letting others make one suffer in strife.

For here the chess pieces are entirely at one's own disposal. 

And one can move them wisely to remain in the state of reposal.

The chess pieces of life are none other than one’s different emotion.

That one needs to handle with utmost caution.

Be it the positive or negative emotion.

One needs to decide when and how to use it and in which direction. 

Remember in the journey of life, one single move can elevate or step one down. 

One single move can make you float or make you drown.

Unlike in the game of chess where one can get another chance to improve one’s game.

In the game of life one may not get another chance and regret the same.

But the regret will be useless.

And one will spend one’s entire life being restless. 

For one's move cannot be undone.

And for it one cannot even seek help from anyone. 

In fact, this feeling of repentance will keep tormenting one till one remains alive.

And make it troublesome for one to survive.

To avert this kind of situation.

It is essential to check any kind of emotional exaggeration. 

For this one need to apply one’s mind as a charioteer of one’s emotions. 

And use it for steering one’s responses in various situations.
