MODERATORS
There is the theory that we feel emotions first and then we think only to justify the emotion.
This would imply that it isn't the thinking that needs to be managed but the emotions.
We're human beings, not machines. Emotions are good, actually.
Emotions aren't good (or bad). They're often like a heuristic. Fast but inaccurate. This is great when it's like "a bear wandered into the house" and emotions say "RUN" and cold logic would be like "what? Why? How?" until you get mauled. It's not good when it's like "climate change makes me feel bad so I don't believe in it"
That's a very fancy word, and I'm sure you're proud of using it.
Now can you tell me how this word has importance in your everyday life?
