Failed to understand the point of that post - that started with an example of using rather than quashing emotions. Emotions are a powerful force. But does one fire high power rifles and 105mm cannons into the air only because happiness that a son was born? Yes if emotions are your enemy. No if a logical brain controls those emotions.

Apparently you failed to comprehend what was posted. No where did I say humans should be emotionalless - should be Spock. In fact I posted, by example, the complete opposite. Emotion is a powerful force. But human emotions are always controlled by a logical brain - when the human is an adult. There are many adults who are still children. They will fire military weapons in the air simply to celebrate a wedding - even in LA. No adult would ever let emotions threaten human life. The difference between an adult and an adult child.
