Our emotions are often beautiful, but they can also be dangerous. They represent our spontaneity, and seem to speak to us of our freedom.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is a dangerous thing to have instant access to your emotions.
Emotions are products of our mind, and we can actually train ourselves to choose whether we banish or embrace them.
Emotions are the key to many aspects of life. They are precisely the elements that make human beings human. I think the fact that emotions have been reduced and put off to the side in intellectual work, particularly in the 20th Century, is tragic.
Emotion is often what we rely upon to carry us across the unfathomable voids in our intelligence.
We all have human emotions that rob our lives.
We have emotions for a reason; for instance, imagine pain. You have pain so that if you touch something that's hot, or if you slam your hand with a hammer, you will pull your hand away and not do that again.
We must become acquainted with our emotional household: we must see our feelings as they actually are, not as we assume they are. This breaks their hypnotic and damaging hold on us.
Feelings or emotions are the universal language and are to be honored. They are the authentic expression of who you are at your deepest place.
We believe it is bad or dangerous to be carried away by our emotions. We admire the person who is cool, who acts without feeling.
Rather than being a luxury, emotions are a very intelligent way of driving an organism toward certain outcomes.
