Is it Okay not to be Okay?

Do you think it's okay not to be okay when you genuinely feel pain, anger, frustration, or other negative feelings. Acknowledging and accepting them eventually leads to your healing and a truer sense of happiness and meaning to life itself. Is it true, It's not okay to be not okay when you know you can't do anything about it, or can't help yourself and others to improve the situation. Wallowing yourself in pessimistic or defeatist emotions is not okay when you have the option to have and to share faith, hope, and love.

Yes, we have to release those pain so that we have room for the happy one. Let's not own the experience because it will create disease in our body.

Yes that is true. It will create stress and we all know stress is also a factor that will make out body or immune system weak.

You need to take pride in your emotions, positive or negative. They need to be allowed to pass, that's the only way you can move forward. If you want to wollow for a while, that's what your body needs. Listen to it.

Accepting failures most of the times is so hard. But we have to learn it and everything will fall into place. Failures makes us a better person whom we always want to be.

It's okay to not be okay when you are in emotional hurt. It's not okay to be okay with wallowing in pessimism and negativism. Those emotions only bring you down and cause pain on another level you don't want to deal with. We all go through stuff that brings pain and grief. It's part of life. We need to look at the positive aspects of the hurt and grief and learn from it.

Thank you for this explanation. I really look forward accepting the facts that we cannot control what will happen around us and also our feelings towards those situations.

You know sometimes people feel bad, and they cannot do anything about it, right? For example, if you have depression, it is hard to just turn off the bad thoughts like a switch. Also, if you have chronic health conditions that cause massive pain ALL THE TIME, IT IS FAIRLY DIFFICULT TO JUST PUT ON A HAPPY FACE. I AM ALL FOR WHAT YOU ARE SAYING (in theory), but I think other circumstances need to be considered.

It's really hard to be happy when you are in pain deep inside. It's so hard to hope when everything around you are falling apart. But accept it, we just have to learn to accept failures and pain are part of our life. Making us more stronger and keeping us get going.

What have you learned from reading about Jesus? Did ever cry or cry out?

Yes, we have to try sometimes to be okay even if all were messed up. We just have to cling on our faith that everything will fall into place and the storms in our lives will passed through.
