Emotions

Emotions are tricky rascals.  They sometimes seemingly appear from nowhere while other times they appear from seeming known reasons.  They sometimes can be controlled.  Sometimes they can't.  Sometimes I don't know what emotions I'm feeling.  Sometimes the emotions I think I am feeling aren't really what I am truly feeling.   Emotions are imprecise guides for life the help guide me towards acting in certain ways that are in my best interest.  But what about people with really screwy emotions?  Or people with schizophrenia, brain damage, or other weird brain?  I have to remember that emotions are imprecise guides for life.  Knowing how faulty the brain can get, it's important for me to preserve my brain to prevent myself from experiencing faulty ideas, thoughts, and emotions that steer me towards self-destruction.  I must learn to listen to my emotions and allow them to guide me toward a prosperous and joyous life.
