ABSTRACT

Reality can be obscured by any intense emotion, and one can be blinded by love. Yellow emotions are energizing, while red and blue, especially too much red and/or blue, can be draining. The cognitive process of labeling emotions good or bad likely results in damming up the awareness of the “bad” emotions within the self, and intolerance of the same in others. Forgiveness isn’t normally thought of as an emotion, yet it is critical to allowing blue and red emotion to dissipate, and yellow emotion to flow for both the sender and the receiver. Forgiveness is consistently spoken of by spiritual sources as a gift to the giver. In other words, the unclearness necessarily leads to a disorganized emotional behavior on the area of self-esteem which is so important for adjustment and personality development.
