Emotion is part of us thus we become part of it.
To say we are not our emotions
we become vegetables
Only monitoring our emotions in all situations
gives us that moment of when, why, how,and where to unleash various emotion. If not monitored by our patience (reflection, quietness of mind) which includes emotion, we will be judged ourselves by ourselves
"What comes from without
begins from within" Emotions are not to blame we are and what we allow
