Emotions

When you are in a emotional state, you lose the ability to analyse things logically and rationally.

Hence, an emotional person often takes the decisions or utter the words that causes him long term harm for which he has to repent for life.

• People in love often fail to see the negative side of their beloved and end up choosing wrong mates
• People in hate often fail to see the good side of the people and harm self and other
• People in anger often shout at their loved ones and spoil relationships

While emotions are not bad per se since you can’t enjoy life and connect with people without emotions, it becomes a curse when emotions dominate your rational mind frequently and leads to wrong actions.

The right approach is to balance your emotions with your rational mind.

If you can use your rational mind to guide all your emotions, you get the best of both worlds and you can be considered to be truly a wise person.

Let the following quote of Aristotle guide you for using your emotions to lead a happy and successful life.

Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.
