Hi there you have chosen a good topic but you have not met the right teachers it seems to tell you about emotions and what they are and how to deal with them if they become uncontrolled.
You can and must control the emotions if you want to succeed in life and more importantly if you want to transcend. It doesn't mean block the emotions or deny them artificially but it does mean discipline the mind, intelligence and ego. If you want more proper info to educate yourself and others then I recommend reading more books, particularly Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Sanskrit text on yoga and meditation. There it tells you all about the emotions and the mind, which it says is more difficult to control than the wind, but by the sword of knowledge one can slay the enemies of bad emotions like anger, greed, lust, envy, even sorrow. Polluting emotions like these are the symptom of an uncontrolled mind based on lack of knowledge about how to harness the mind, use the sword of the intelligence based on knowledge. Your direction is correct, now you just need to improve your aim and depth of insight by studying more. Let me know how it goes.
Hey man, I much appreciate your feedback. I agree that I might have caused some confusion by oversimplifying on such a big topic of human emotions.
Of course you could develop yourself to the point where you can easily manage your emotions, otherwise writing about emotions would not even make sense.
What I meant in the article is that emotions occur on a subconscious level, it is only when they appear that we can detect them and choose how to manage them.
Thank you for pointing it out, I will make sure to update the post. This is an introductory article aimed to find people interested in topics of human nature and provide a small tip. I will be talking more about the mind, willpower and energy in the future posts, as that better resembles my expertise. Thanks for the book recommendation, I will check it out.
