Emotional Maturity ++++++++++++++++++ Emotions are, no doubt, the beauty of a human being. Animals are incapable of experiencing, chastening and beautifying emotions. To express emotions and to show sentiments is the glory and the beauty of man. But when emotions overwhelm you, then you become a victim of them and a slave to your sentiments. This condition is referred to as 'emotionalism' or 'sentimentality'. Both of these conditions mentioned above cause an imbalance in the mind and provide a means of livelihood for psychiatrists. You give love; let not love drive you. You can be angry if you choose: but let not anger rule your actions. Use emotions and sentiments; do not let them use you.
