You hit the nail on the head with this: The question becomes balance; how much emotion is too much? And even further more . . . maybe . . we'll never know when emotion is too much . . so maybe we need to try and figure out the balance of using our heart and mind to limit the manifestation of the emotion . . if that makes any sense :-) Facing West – You summarized my post beautifully!

I am intrigued your comments regarding emotion. I find it funny that most of us view being consumed by anger as a bad thing, but few of us have a problem being consumed with love or lust. I find it interesting that you have classified all these emotions as potentially harmful when taken "in the wrong dose" so-t0-speak, and I think in many ways you are right. Poor decisions are made when people are consumed by rage or hate, but I've also made some pretty stupid choices when consumed by happiness or love. Too much emotion amplifies our actions into illogical mutations of normal responses. The question becomes balance; how much emotion is too much? Thanks for stimulating my brain cells this morning!
