If you cannot control your emotions, what can you control?
You can't control the outside world.
You can't control the genetics you were given.
You can't control other people.
The only thing that you might have some control over, if that is your own brain.
And that actually really just comes down to intelligence, in my opinion, your ability to control your emotion.
Me, I just looked up scientific experiments to understand how to counterbalance my emotions.
Absolutely not.
No one is in control of their emotions.
Your brain is a response mechanism.
It is not what we think it is.
We don't have control of our brain.
Our brain has control of us to an extent.
So if you do something that increases a certain chemical in my brain that is negative, I will feel that negative emotion outside of my control.
Exactly.
So my belief actually is that you can't even control what you believe.
And I could give an example for anyone watching.
Belief, just for a second for me, that there's a pink elephant in front of you, you can't do it.
You can say that you can do it.
You can dilute your brain into doing it.
