Feelings and emotions are never right or wrong. They are sensory inputs that give valid information to help us with our personal life choices. As such they don’t really have intelligence of their own but are instead spontaneous automatic reactions to things within our environment. They can tell us that something is right or wrong, and they never lie. But they can’t make conscious choices for us. They give us feedback and information so that we can act appropriately.
Feelings and emotions are subjective sensory inputs and we don’t have control over them. What we have control over is how we react to those feelings and emotions. We are responsible for our actions, not for our emotions. Being responsible for our actions includes being responsible for the words that come out of our mouths.
This world demands discipline and that discipline can be self-discipline or it can be the discipline imposed by an external authority! The person that is self-disciplined remains consciously aware of their words and actions and continues to act responsibly in all situations. The impulsive person that acts strictly upon emotions and impulses constantly gets into trouble with external authorities. The person with lack of impulse control is the reason why external authorities exist in the first place!
The problem arises when the self disciplined person who is acting consciously and deliberately according to the still small voice within their conscience regardless of their feelings or emotions, comes into conflict with the irrational and forced backed demands of an emotionally charged and politically correct public that is brain washed into thinking and acting in self destructive ways!
