Emotions make people weak?

True.

People who can't let themselves have their emotions are weak.

People who act "stupid" and "irrational" are doing it for a very good reason. It works. And it's not an acceptance of their emotions that leads them to act out, it's the use of one emotion to mask another. People who's emotional reactions don't fit the situation are feeling another more relevant and deep emotional reality right underneath it.

Emotions themselves are not defenses any more than pain or comfort are a defense. You want to feel pain when you rest your hand on a lit stove so that you know to move your hand away. You want to feel anger when people are acting unjustly, sadness when there is a terrible situation, fear when there is a threat, happy when you are living in line with your values, guilt when you are not.

Emotions aren't defenses, they are a super power.

Not so - even when we are prey to powerful feelings we are learning more about them and our selves and how to deal with them - The ones who crack the hardest are those who dont even acknowledge their feelings and then are hit big time with no defence in place - Believe me feelings will win over logic any time and bring you to your knees in a way that your mind cannot - We have feelings so we can learn about ourselves as well as sense danger and find a mate they are also there to help you laugh away depression - but keep your ideas and live by them and we will see who is stronger in the end .

There is a theory at 'act think feel' are expeienced by all of us in individually different combinations and so it might seem that those who think or act first might think themselves to be better than others who feel first but the real trick is to take all of it into account - our animal gut instincts are often what saves us from real and present danger - stop to think and you might be toast.

Emotion enables love. It also gives people character. Acting out emotions is not the same thing as having them.

Emotions are the key motivators.... zero emotion means zero motion.

It is lack of emotional intelligence which makes us a slave to our emotions rather than work them up with proper intensity, timing and direction to become the most helpful tools towards achieving our purpose.

Emotions don't make you weak, they add flavor to life. Intelligent people do not act on emotion.

People who can embrace their emotions in a transcending way are stronger because of their emotions. People who are too attached to trivial emotions become weak.

it's always two ways:

for example, when a person falls in love, he or she can become very weak due to fear and worry but strong enough to decide to give his here hand to loved one for life... :D

yes, always two ways.

a person is so worried and fearful so he is weak but dare enough have a good drink and start getting strong and shouting in entire suburb. here emotion gives a solution to become strong (good way or bad way depends on the solution you find).

do not under estimate your emotions, as they DO serve purpose. with no emotion comes no passion with no passion comes no desire with no desire comes no ""logical,smarter, and more efficient"" things because you need desire to motivate yourself to do all these logical,smarter,and more efficient things in the first place.

Emotions amplify beliefs, conscious or subconscious.

ya your right without emotions no one would care if i killed other people i could kill them all and take their stuff never have to work again another day of my life it would be sweet
