inability to control emotions ?
Nobody can
control emotions - their own or others'.
All they can do is suppress, conceal, mislabel, obfuscate, divert, equivocate, deny and prevaricate.
We can, to varying degrees, control the outward expression of emotions.
The context in which I made that response was honest:
When I feel bad, I may wish to feel good, but good feeling does not necessarily follow. When I feel good, I do not wish to feel bad and bad feeling does not necessarily follow.
If you took an objective poll of 1000 random people, you would find a significant number at the ends of the Bell curve who feel predominantly bad and those who feel predominantly good, due to a gamut of causes outside their own control.
No balance, proportion, cycle or equitable distribution is built into the system.
diminishing law of returns of sensory input
vs
emotional experience
mixed up with physics laws of inertia ?
I don't know what that means.
philosophy & physics mix well with alcohol
But I get that just fine.
