"You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you", wrote Amitabh Bachchan on X.
Amitabh Bachchan, one of the most celebrated actors globally and among the biggest superstars in India, often shares his random thoughts on his X (formerly Twitter) account. In the wee hours of Saturday, June 21, the superstar again shared a cryptic note on sufferings in life and his post quickly went viral on the micro-blogging platform.
Taking to X, Amitabh wrote, "T 5417 - आप सदा कष्ट-दुखी रहेंगे, अगर आप से कही हुई हर बात पर, आप भावात्मक होते रहेंगे...किसी की प्रतिक्रिया व्यवहार या वाणी द्वारा व्यक्त दर्द विशद कठिनाई आदि अप्रिय बातें सहन करना (You will always be sad and unhappy if you keep getting emotional about everything that is said to you...a reaction to someone expressed through behavior or speech to endure unpleasant things like pain, difficulty, etc) you will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you."
Reacting to his post, one of his fans wrote, "When we let our emotions control us, we often end up feeling sad or upset. By managing our reactions, we can respond more calmly and not let every comment affect us. This approach helps us focus on what truly matters and reduces unnecessary suffering. Ultimately, emotional control can lead to a happier and more peaceful life. But this is said more easily than done and takes years of practice to control our emotional state."
