Hello dear @edgarare1, thanks for sharing.

We must not forget that we have the ability to feel any emotion at any time. Denying or suppressing an emotion we feel can hurt us, but, on the other hand, we should not be slaves to our feelings.

In these cases, emotional intelligence is important, as you say, we cannot be slaves to our emotions or allow them to govern our lives, controlling our own emotions will make us make better decisions.

Thanks friend!
