Emotions Vs. Professionalism

Emotions: - According to Wikipedia, it’s a complex psychophysiological experience on an individual’s state of mind as interacting with biochemical & environmental influences.
In another words, it can also influent others who’s around you by your expression, behavior, mood, temperament, personality and more.

Because of professions, work, hardship in life, some part of our “emotions” seems to be disappeared or being “numb”.

For example, being a medical expert / professions, every day, they see patients come and go. Tears of pain & joy, patients demanding, begging for help…. etc. It seems that all these already are a norm to them. So, sometimes they just feel… “nothing” or I would say, sympathy to those who need attentions.

I have a friend who is a doctor, a fresh and young doctor graduated mid of last year.

She shared her story about her work. She also described to us how patients reacted, the environmental stress & the power of influences in a critical situation.

Due to the career as a doctor, she shaded many tears for her patients, thus, emotions get hold of her and making her unable to make relevant decision. “Thanks for the senior doctors and nurses, all things went well and all carried out as per required.” She stressed.

I understand her point when she said that it’s required to put away the emotions in order to work professionally.

In the back of my mind, I was thinking, as time goes by, as she learned how to control her emotions, lesser and lesser she’s feeling her patients. I just wish that she will not just do her job for the sake of completing it. Thus, never realized what she had missed.


By the way, have I mentions that she used to be a very sensitive and down-to-earth person? She likes to laugh a lot and often put herself in people’s shoes.


Is this emotional dysfunctional? Emotionless affection? I hope not.


Being a medical profession is not as easy / fun as I thought it would be. Although income is good, stable career path, but, I don’t want to loss myself and my emotions.

I’m not sure what my friend facing right now is good or bad? I just wish that she can always be as cheerful she was.


My respect to all the doctors and nurses; we need more people like you as there are more unknown diseases affecting humanity.

Begining of the End...

2 years of compassion with great love:-
We shared our laughter, tears, joy, burners and love…
With good times which I cherish. With bad times which I don’t mind.

Now, the decision came to end us as lovers.
I hope that one day, if things do not turn out as you want it to be.
Do not regret on this decision you made.
Nevertheless, I’ll always wish you’ll find your happiness and great life ahead.

It was hard for me to sleep these few days.
Tears run down my face.
You would like to think of us that start anew,
But you would not understand the pierce in my heart.



Although, my heart still in love with you but it’s time that I need to start to take my first step after you let go of my hand in this place.

In my daily life,
I’ll not anymore write “dear” in my message to you.
I’ll not anymore look at my phone frequently just to check if there’s any message from you.
I’ll not anymore send you a message during working hours just to say “I miss you”.
I’ll not anymore flip through our photos together and hoping to have a same smile.
I’ll not anymore concern if you are feeling angry with me.
I’ll not anymore run to you and hold your hands just to say “I’m sorry”.
I’ll not anymore keep trying to explain myself just to make you understand.
I’ll not anymore find ways during my busy schedule just to reply you “I’m ok here”.
But only in memories that I’ll still keep.

However, I’ll still be here,
As a friend.
As a companion.
Or when you need someone to talk.
Because you know that I understand you better than anyone else.

From today onwards, things will change between us and I honor the road you had chosen.

Be well, live well. Blessings to you.

My friend.
