Expressing yourself well matters

Having a real emotion does not mean that any way of expressing it is good. You can be hurt and still not wound; you can be angry and still speak with respect. Ordering your emotional life is also learning to express yourself without destroying. Truth needs charity in order to build. Emotional life is not an obstacle to maturing. It needs to be listened to and ordered so you can respond to reality without remaining trapped in the impulse of the moment.
