People say that. But then they are horrified when someone kills another one because it made them angry. Or when a man rapes a woman because he couldn't control his senses.
They say they want a "human touch" and "emotion instead of logic", but don't like the consequences of truly doing that.
- edejong 7y agoThe solution IMHO is not to substitute the emotions, but to understand, control and channel them by equanimity, concentration, meditation, investigation and mindfulness.
