Emotions take control because we don't have to put effort to get into their grab. But if we don't want to allow the emotions to get over, than there are some "feelings" which needs to be generated by putting in our effort-
Will power- This power/ feeling can give you the current to stop the negative emotions with the strength of logic & purpose. To achieve will power, there's another link-
Motivation- When we know that certain things or emotions are not good for us to be swept away with. So we should give some strain on the ming to realise the good/ bad effects & the eventual result which might happen. Sometimes we can recall a past experience & then make a strong mind to do according to logic this time around. I know its not easy, thats why the effort is needed to fight with emotions.

It feels like emotions take over because emotions ARE feelings, and a direct reaction from the cause of emotions: FEELINGS.
Are emotions really that strong? It may depend on the individual, as each has thier own level of control and or acceptance of thier emotions.
Balance as well is an individual achievement. Overall, it may prove most beneficial to find balance by accepting one's emotions and as well accepting reality (as the two may conflict).
Don't get swept away: If one feels so much that it's too much, then self control may be needed, or perhaps just a real friend...even a stranger. Sometimes talking about how one feels is an outlet, as it helps one let out what is being felt within. Therefore, a balance is being created.

emotions are very powerful feelings and even have physiological effects on the body. too much stress can cause toxins to build up in your system. depression eats away at your brain.. best thing is to get alot of exercise, and do your best to keep your head level by filling your life with stimulating activity and social interaction.

the two. faith/spirituality is the two emotional and reasonaable. i think of people who take it too a good distance and bash different religions and sects are being unfavorable, besides the shown fact that it is often weighed out by using the valuable ones who know usa is usa packed with foreigners. with out emotion what might faith truly be? with out reason what can faith truly be?
