Q : Do you agree with his/her statement? Why?

A : I choose quote by Jonathan Martensson that said, Feelings are much like waves. We
cant stop them from coming but we can choose which one to surf, because I agree with it
and I think every person in this world have to know about this quote.
Look at many of news on tv or newspaper are about conflict, celebration of something,
suicide, etc. You could be in conflict with someone caused by your anger, when you celebrate
something theres must be a happy moment in your life, and you felt sorrow when one of
your friends or family passed away. Do you know why all of the incident happen? The right
answer is because of emotions. Emotions really are like waves. Sometimes they comes as
small waves and doesnt have any effect in your life, but sometimes they comes as big waves
and makes you drowning in your own feelings like angry, worry, thankful, and sorrow.
There is not much we can do to control them. However, like the quote says, we can choose
which ones we will surf. Thats mean we can decide which emotions we are going to allow to
stay with us for a period time. Think about your feelings as waves and decide which ones you
want to surf and which ones you dont. So, its all about your choice to be happy, angry, or
sad. You choose!
