People will keep telling you "Listen to your heart!" all the time. I doubt that anyone knows what it means, but whenever they throw this phrase they look like very kind people... and who doesn't want to be kind? Hmmm... Me, for instance.

I keep hearing that having emotions is very important and makes you a human being. However, I must disagree. Emotions are evil and only cause problems. If emotions were a living creature it should be a mosquito because it can only irritate and bring the pain.

You are not a robot without emotions. You just know how to control yourself.

I start to think that people don't know the difference between feelings and emotions nowadays. Let me help you:

1. Emotions are based on your delusions and only comes to play when outside factors affect you. Feelings come from deep inside and they (should) never change.
2. Any decision based on any emotion is ALWAYS wrong. Any decision based on feelings... well... it can be right.
3. Emotions are momentary. Feelings are forever.
4. Emotions make you unstable and weak. Feelings give you power.
5. Emotions and feelings are enemies. When one thrives, another suffers.

Imagine a poker game. Do you think it is smart to make decisions based on emotions (let's say you lost the previous hand and want to win it all back with 27)? So why do you think it is any different in real life? It is not.

I have recently had to make some serious decisions in my life. It was extremely hard, but I based my final decision on facts and sense of reality. Sadly, that meant that I had to take a harder way instead of choosing the one which my emotions and weakness wanted. However, it was not over after I made my decision because sad emotions came crashing at me, trying to convince me to change my ideas. I was a fucking mess, to say the least. Good thing is that I know how weak I am, so instead of letting emotions control me, I just watch how they painfully and slowly die with every passing minute.

Never change your final decision for at least a couple of days until emotions wears-off. After that, you won't want to change that decision anymore... if you are smart.

One of the most important things to understand while trying to control your emotions is that you are a weak piece of shit and all the ideas, which come to your head when you are affected by emotions, are not actually yours. They come somewhere from an outer space and only want to destroy you. I am stupid, but I know that much.

It takes 2 two days for me to get rid of emotions after making hard decisions. That's why I just sleep those two days and try to think about nothing. I become a freaking sponge I guess. It is wrong, but it is how things work for me at the moment. I believe that I'll learn to control my emotions in the future, but in the meantime, I can only choose not to make decisions based on emotions. That is already a great achievement, IMO.

The fewer emotions you have, the higher is your emotional intelligence.
