Why do you feel this side of you, this yearning and appreciation for justice, is evil? Just because you are rewarded for seeing what you think is right being done, it doesn't make that sensation evil. The evil, if any, would come from if you allowed you biases to cloud your judgement of what is "justified". It sounds to me that your fight is about you not trusting your own judgement. You are growing tired fighting the wrong battle. __________________ Please don't hug me. |

Some control can be gained through training and experience, but controlling your emotions 100% is not possible, in my opinion. Our emotions are like an elephant steered by a person. A person can steer a calm elephant, but he cannot steer an angry elephant. The controlling part of our brain is much newer and weaker than the emotional part.

So, at best I have to rely on people's willingness to do the hard work of training themselves to exert what little control they have to prevent them from wanting to kill me. Great. __________________ Please don't hug me. |

Your question was general. If there are people hurting you or want to hurt, you need to report them to the police. Understanding if they can control their emotions won't help you. There is a law for a reason. Punishment deters people from doing what they are capable of doing.

In my personal experience. No, with skill (perhaps natural born talent) people can have 100% complete controle over their emotions. I would not recommend developing this skill and rely on it, cause I feel it has back fired on me hard. To the point I no longer trust my emotions, i.e. I don't know if I'm actually feeling an emotion, or if I've subconsiously decided to feel the emotion.
I suppose some people will tell you that what I describe isn't controling your emotions, only surpressing them. But I disagree. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
