    Oh sure. It's not the presence of emotions but rather their intensity. Which is why they say that revenge is the dish best served cold. If somebody managed to really piss you off right now and you got really, REALLY mad at them, there's a chance that if you were to immediately respond to them you might say/do something you might regret. On the other hand, if you had a chance to sleep on it and give yourself time to cool off, your response would likely be different, more calculated.

    And what I'm saying is that emotions can only be properly understood and embraced after they have subsided.

    Nothing to be sorry for :)

    Can I still call you the Lion of Zion? :P
    Hammer, anvil, forge and fire, chase away The Hoofed Liar. Roof and doorway, block and beam, chase The Trickster from our dreams.
    Vigilance is our shield, that protects us from our squalid past. Knowledge is our weapon, with which we carve a path to an enlightened future.
