Emotions are present constantly throughout our lives. They come as seeming absolutes, as though they tell you how the world is. Some people put a lot of stock into emotions, saying they’re the only things one should follow. Yet, people try to drum up excitement at games and people try to cure themselves of their depression. Emotions are something that can be driven and changed. They come from previous periods in your life and your subconscious and aren’t unassailable. In fact, emotions can be a source of your problems if you don’t keep them in check. One can’t say that a person who murders their spouse out of anger didn’t follow their emotions.
