Hi there you have chosen a good topic but you have not met the right teachers it seems to tell you about emotions and what they are and how to deal with them if they become uncontrolled.

You can and must control the emotions if you want to succeed in life and more importantly if you want to transcend. It doesn't mean block the emotions or deny them artificially but it does mean discipline the mind, intelligence and ego. If you want more proper info to educate yourself and others then I recommend reading more books, particularly Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Sanskrit text on yoga and meditation. There it tells you all about the emotions and the mind, which it says is more difficult to control than the wind, but by the sword of knowledge one can slay the enemies of bad emotions like anger, greed, lust, envy, even sorrow. Polluting emotions like these are the symptom of an uncontrolled mind based on lack of knowledge about how to harness the mind, use the sword of the intelligence based on knowledge. Your direction is correct, now you just need to improve your aim and depth of insight by studying more. Let me know how it goes.
