Wanted to write a response to your post Lulu, but everything I wrote sounded like a saga, or something out of a soapie... so I took out my personal experience.

Emotions are a good thing to have, when in moderation.. it is the extremes that we need to be careful of.. I'm thinking in the relm of violence at one end of the spectrum and those who are unable to feel emotions (can't think of the technical term).
