Message: <blockquote data-quote="jdavis" data-source="post: 662922" data-attributes="member: 8704">sort of funny but that's not what I got at all from his post, I just figure he isn't a raving lunatic over uncontrolable situations. I think the only difference here is the definition of reasonable bounds.Were way off in left field anyway, so I'll add to the topic of emotions a little. I am a very emotional person, I get very emotional about a lot of stuff. I will die from this, that is a fact, my family is susseptable to high blood pressure and heart disease, I am 33 and I have drastically high blood pressure, I will die from it, my emotions will kill me in the end and I will not live to be a old man. These are facts not assumptions. My Grandfather died of a heart attack 20 years ago, my Grandmother had a debilitating stroke nearly 10 years ago and is lingering in a state of constant medical care (she's in her mid 70's now), my mother fights blood pressure problems every day and has been told by a doctor to avoid all stressful situations, including her mother and other members of the family at holidays. I have been on blood pressure medication since my 20's and have shown no signs of ever getting it under control.  This isn't a silly topic, for me lack of emotional control will put me in a coffin, it is a fact. Emotionally dead or physically dead, what's the better choice? There are a lot of times when you just need to let it go, having a little control of your emotions will add years onto your life, take if from somebody who doesn't have the ability to let anything go and lives in a constant unescapable emotional whirlwind. By the way I'm actually a much happier guy than people think, it comes from accepting situations I can't control, now if only people would stop cutting me off in traffic............</blockquote>
