True. Some passionate emotional states are purely harmless. But, in my experience, some emotions are based on faulty beliefs, bad programming or habit, and led me astray or into painful confusion. When I guide myself away from these unhelpful emotions, surprisingly I get more clarity right away. It's empowering to know where to draw the line.
