Don't live by your emotions

A teacher in college once said, "When emotions are aroused intellect stops working", in other words when we allow our emotions to control us our brain turns off and we go stupid. How many times have we said something or did something that we wish we could go back and re-live and the simple fact is that we spoke from our emotions. May, I say that you can not trust your emotions. Emotions are simply emotions and they are determined by our circumstances or even by our own body make up or lack thereof. The key is for us to live by belief(faith) which in turn develops our character and character will determine our actions. If we allow our emotions to determine our actions then be ready to say, "I'm sorry."
