When I talked with my friend about expression, I also told about two words of Sanskrit or Hindi: ‘vyakt’ means expression and ‘vyakti’ means human. So a human is the one who expresses. It is very normal that you want to express, that you want to share with others what you have inside.
Sometimes it can give you much relief when you can express an emotion. Have you experienced this? You have something on your heart and you tell a friend about it and already while you are talking you feel how your heart gets lighter. Your friend didn’t need to do anything, simply your expression helped you to feel good.
In this example you can see how important it is to express yourself. It doesn’t have to be much, I don’t mean that you have to talk if you don’t have really anything to say. No, I mean that it is good if you learn to express who you are when it is important. Imagine there is an important discussion going on and the person whom you are talking to is talking much and in a direction that you don’t want. He is going to do something that you don’t agree with. If you cannot speak from your heart in that situation, he will not know what you think and probably assume you are of his opinion. The bad thing is that you will be suppressing yourself and your emotions. It might be helpful if you can state your opinion, just express it. And things may turn a very different way.

When you express your feelings or thoughts, how would you like to be received? How would you like others to listen to you? Imagine this and hold it in your heart. Then when someone is expressing themselves to you, listen and receive in the same way you envisioned. It's hard to do sometimes, but we learn how to be accepting of others' thoughts and feelings, while accepting our own.

What is more important than having an opinion, or having others listen to you, is knowing yourself. It is easy to be outspoken or to be silent, but knowing yourself requires a journey, an understanding.

I agree, you should express your opinions! It is also worth knowing when someone is not in a position to listen.

Does God accept bribes from criminals?
SourceGive your child your love over your touch. You create a deep trust in this baby that you will be there whatever happens.
SourceReligion was founded when people started creating rules around that power called ‘God’ with which they could make people afraid and manipulate them. They defined ‘their god’ and split the population of the world in different groups.
SourceIncrease your ego until you say ‘I am god’. I am that. You are that source that you come from, you are that! Tat Tvam Asi. But not only you, everyone around you, too!
SourceWhenever you criticize something that is morally wrong and someone reacts strongly, it is a sign that he or she knows what you are talking about, has acted in the way you criticize and feels guilty about.
SourceIn both, Hinduism and Islam, one can find proof that men are allowed and even advised to beat their wives – if they don’t obey or if they don’t want to have sex.
SourceYou want to live in guilt. If you do not want to, you can come out of it. You can just leave it and decide not to be in guilt. But being in this feeling is easier than making the decision of not being in guilt.
SourceStay true to yourself, even if your ideas and those of your elders clash. Those who love you will realize that your love is more important than old tradition and ridiculous superstition. Time has changed and knowledge and science has progressed.
SourceNot every religious person is a criminal but many criminal people are religious.
SourcePeople, afraid of loneliness, want to train themselves for it and make this affirmation: "I can be alone". "I need my space" is another phrase which is often said by those who would actually like to have someone around them.
SourceWho are you to decide upon life or death? Who are you to decide whether a person should live or die? Who are you to torture another human being?
SourceDon’t be afraid to act differently. It won’t make you an outsider if those around you really love you. You have to be honest in order to feel good about yourself.
SourceI only follow one rule: Break one rule daily. And I believe that we need to get rid of all other rules if we want to live free and with open heart.
SourceYou have to accept your anger. It is a natural feeling, created by god. It is a negative feeling, yes, but you are not bad if you feel angry. It is there and you need to live it!
SourcePeople say scriptures cannot be changed. Okay, but then why do you need to follow them?
SourceReligion's starting Point: Fear - Religion's Source of Income today: Fear
SourceStop comparing yourself to others and be happy!
SourceMake yourself happy while helping others without expectations.
SourceSome people love money and collect it but do not enjoy it. Nobody can take money with him when he leaves this world! So why to collect? Enjoy!
SourceFlexibility is Hinduism's biggest quality and its biggest drawback!
