It also repeates the cliche that emotions are opposed to reason. That's kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy for most people, but it just doesn't have to be that

It also repeates the cliche that emotions are opposed to reason. That's kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy for most people, but it just doesn't have to be that way. All you have to do is stop repressing your emotions but also stop appeasing them, two opposite sides of the same mistake. Rather you listen to them and treat them as an input and an output just like all other data (except they are special in being both input and output). (In a nutshell---in practice there is a lot more to it.)
