Many philosophers consider life a continuous drama that is part of us, from the moment we see the light of day for the first time until the last moments when we close our eyes for the last time. Abandoning the dramas in our lives is a way to take control of those situations that keep us emotionally paralyzed in time when we observe events through the exaggerated behavior of those around us as a way to remain in the center of our attention.
Each of our internal conflicts, out-of-control emotions and the subjective vision of what surrounds us are, in many cases, exaggerated in front of others who see in our performance a level of drama that only reflects a loss of emotional self-control in our environment. . Behavior when we try to impress others. At some point in our lives, each of us uses drama to get what we want by manipulating the feelings of whoever is with us.
In many situations in life, we use drama as a form of personal expression when we want to establish an emotional connection in which the message is hidden behind the dramatization that exists when we try to tell a story full of conflicts whose sublime message is locked in each word. , movement and gesture that we express.
In some cases, we use the imagination of those present as the main vehicle through which we try to convey to whom this personal action is directed, which always has a strong emotional charge behind it. Drama is a form of body language that we can all understand when we see or hear it.
Drama is something that follows us wherever we go. At home, at work, walking down the street, in the music we listen to, and in the movies we watch, we closely follow the mystery, the plot and the story of the main character, wondering at all times “what will Happen.” In the most extreme cases, when we closely watch a play to be entertained, the drama is the reason for the staging with performance artists who use the drama to tell a story that they are trying to get across.
Many times we avoid some people due to the drama that surrounds their lives, and, in some cases, the simplest conflicts are dramatized in such a way that we are surprised by the ability of people to seek our attention by exaggerating a situation that only they can see or represent. In which the drama is used as the main resource.
Life is full of conflict, something that no matter what we do, we cannot avoid all the time. But something that we can all recognize is the drama associated with some conflicts that consumes our time and energy in the name of showing sympathy for the dramatic situation that some people strive to show.
Dramatic behavior that we can all see when we witness the levels of exaggeration of behavior that are displayed in each of the actions that the individual uses to give more credibility to the story that he is trying to tell.
“Because of the high levels of emotional message attached to personal history, we cannot allow guilt to be the reason for our empathy in supporting this kind of dramatic behavior from others, who consciously exploit our weakness, in the face of the emotional effect that The dramatic stories we have in each of us have.”
We must identify our own dramatic responses to situations that we cannot control, and we want to enjoy the feeling of emotional well-being that we so desire. All dramatic behavior is something that we must put aside if we really want to achieve what we want as individuals, showing us who we really are before the rest and how the emotional conflicts that surround us affect us, would be our first step.
Our empathy for the real drama that others are going through is not a sign of weakness, but rather a recognition that drama is something that affects our sense of responsibility as human beings when facing the suffering of others.
As individuals, we must make a difference between a drama that surrounds any emotional conflict whose behavior we should expect versus what we are, observe, or feel, as opposed to a drama where dramatic exaggeration is present in the way individuals present their conflicts. The lack of human sensitivity should not go to extremes in a case that we recognize as a real drama.
Not all dramas have their origins in emotional conflicts between people. We witness the drama in our daily lives every time we see the suffering that a person is going through in situations where that person has no control (terminal illness, loss of a loved one, end of a marital relationship, natural disasters, dramatic effects of a war, environmental or natural disaster, economic loss, atmospheric phenomena, drought, epidemic, etc.).
In every situation that we consider unpleasant for us, in many cases, the effect of the drama that we see is what really moves us to act. Drama is an emotional connection between us and the phenomena and people around us.
