 More to life than being a robot. Emotions are to be felt and understood, not suppressed.

Feel the ups, feel the downs. Integrate, transcend and include.

 Stoicism isn’t about turning off your emotions, that’s what sociopaths do. Feel them, but move on quickly 
 Next time you cross path with someone that shuts down emotionally, make sure you are not dealing with a Sociopath.

 Touché. Everyone thinks I love them. 
 Marcus Aurelius couldn't have said it better  
 Emotions are powerful.

Emotions which come from within are an important expression of ourselves and our values.

Emotions which come from outside ourselves and are created by others are very dangerous. Guarding against influence from external actors is crucial.
