I'll keep this short. Short and sweet.

To rule over ones emotions means to control them.

To over rule ones emotions means to deny them.

It's not the same thing.

That's why I mentioned academia in recent decades.

It's because they have consistently and intentionally produced adults whose abilities to distinguish rational arguments have been impaired.

I wrote:

>Adults, on the other hand, have their intellect rule over their emotions.

>That's the definition of maturity and it's exemplified by the phrase 'postponing gratification'.

These statements should have made you comprehend that

[a] emotions exist and are basic from birth through early childhood.

[b] the intellect exists but it has to be trained and nurtured as one grows into adulthood.

[c] a person can postpone the emotional desires of the present by using their intellect.

[d] the emotional desires of the present can be satisfied later on, at a more convenient time.

[e] the intellect must also decide when that more convenient time will be and also if the emotional desires of the present are even worth acceding to.

(You may want to break the window of that person who just cut you off, an emotional response, but it may never be the proper response.)

This is a short as can be for our purposes here. To make it shorter would miss the point, to make it longer would require a different platform, hot here.

GodSpeed, anon.
