Humans are made up of emotions and have a reaction to almost every situation they face. There is anger, love, and sadness in nearly every main memory one has. These can be used to bring people together as well. Though hatred is a very strong emotion and distance can only thicken it, there are times when a common emotional experience can bring people together.

Common Ground

For someone to link an emotional attachment, there needs to be a common ground. When people have emotional experiences, they will be able to relate to the other person on an intimate level. With this, a person can realize that other people go through the same experiences as them and deserve sympathy in the simplest forms.

The common emotional experience can open up a more tender side and help them realize that everyone has their own hurdles to cross, and if there are some minor mistakes they make through this time, they could be forgiven.

Helps Us Realize The Person’s Worth

Emotional experiences could be when others get into life-threatening situations and suffer loss. Once they have enough time to think of their experiences on their deathbed, they realize that there is little to no time to waste. Rekindling with those that were once loved is an important aspect of life and brings people together.

Rekindling old flames also ensures that there are no regrets left behind, and people can get things off their chests once and for all.

Makes Us Value Time

Things such as accidents and life-threatening situations help us realize that life is precious. There is no amount of time to be wasted. With such emotional experiences, a person learns how to manage things in life and be more inclined to making bonds rather than breaking them.

Two authors named Kenneth J. Lee and Dr. Monica Lee-Currie rekindled their father and daughter bond and wrote a book called Reel Love. The book contains multiple short stories and poems that make you appreciate life’s small things. The poems base themselves around things Kenneth J. Lee has been through.

The Eras

 The forties and fifties, I was just a lad, but I’m very thankful for the good times that I had.

 In the sixties and seventies, I was grown, eking out a living all on my own.

 In the eighties and nineties, my list of friends was getting very thin. Day after day, I woke up with a grin.

At the turn of the century plus 10, they are all gone now, but I still have a smile.

Knowing all of the eras were worth my while.

A beautiful poem that makes us appreciate all phases of our lives.

Helps Us Sympathize With The Other

Once we have our own emotional experiences to put in the world we hold our heads high and share our stories with other people. With this, we can sympathize with those who have gone through the same thing. Bonds built on grief and intimacy will last longer and add a touch of kindness.
