if i was a more emotional person, somewhat insulting.

Taking care of one's emotional health is a part of keeping balance in one's life. There's nothing wrong with being emotional imo. Pregnant women are very emotional.

Its fine for pregnant women to be very emotional but I'm not a pregnant woman.

There is a lot wrong with beeing emotional. If your judgment is disrupted by emotions, you end up like a child, a retard, unable to solve the most basic problems, while depending on others to care for the troubles you create. Sounds not really like a desireable state at all to me. Maybee we should ask a doctor, were emotional states and states in motion, can get you? Found one, but he lost his head, damn shame, but hey, if you love the revolution feaver, you may as well start eating children.

A person can be emotional and not be a twit who causes all kinds of trouble. Gregor Mendel, the Augustinian monk who did all of those very precise pea plant experiments, was an emotional person and he discovered the field of genetics. His major problem was that he flunked out of school because he had horrible test anxiety, but he also did a lot of good things. He constantly worked to make the community a better place, cared for the sick, and taught science classes. All of his students thought that he was a, great teacher with a real love for teaching science and it showed. He was very enthusiastic in his efforts to teach science and help members of the community and he was very good at collecting and organizing precise data for his experiments because he was patient. It is possible to be emotional, patient, and intelligent and I figure that everyone says immature things at some time or another in their lives regardless of how intelligent they are. Just because someone is intelligent it doesn't make them mature and even a very mature, intelligent person can't always be like that throughout their entire life if they live that long.

Maybee there is always a little emotion involved in every decision (at least sub-concious) but that is nothing to be proud about it, instead it is something to search and purge out of decision making. If you want me to celebrate emotions, why not celebrate those who bring forward war and destruction? Civilisation is a process which means getting rid of emotions in the long run. Every inch of emo cut from the justice system improved it. Every time emotion takes over in sience, it leads to battles between thought-schools, heavy ideologic entrenchment ensues, but besides frantic searches for waterproof evidence, nothing comes from such unsystematic skirmishes.

Its cheap fuel for the intrinsic motivation, but nothing more- why should someone whoreship a handicapp? Its like beeing proud for not having legs, because that allows you to sue everyone to built ramps in there houses.

I like to put it this way: Emotion is a great drive, but a horrible driver.

Emotionlessness or subtle emotions as oppose to strong ones are sometimes a sign of maturity.
Why?
Because adults unlike children understand that many things are not black and white and thus encountering an occurrence, that after rational examination, is actually all positive or all negative is harder.
Emotional responses are something that wears out as our experience grows.
As a child you might get a piece of chocolate and be very happy but as an adult,someone who has tasted chocolate so many times, you do not feel the same exhilaration about it.
A more serious example could be meeting a person.
If this person is someone you care about and you havent seen him in a long time its natural to feel very happy when you see him but strange to be super emotional about meeting the same person if you see him every day.

Lets say you go with a few friends somewhere and you order a bottle of wine and all your friends have tasted quality wine and are used to it while you are not.
what would happen if you would react without restraint according to your emotional state?
You would taste the wine and be amazed at its superior flavor while they will not be.
They will sit quietly talking while you'd be prancing around with a grin crying about how great the wine is.
Naturally your friends would chuckle a bit over your reaction if they are good friends or laugh at you behind your back afterward while feeling superior if they are not.

Also strong emotions are emotionally dangerous.
As we taste emotional disappointment and get hurt we naturally become more cynical and distrusting.
We do not want to get hurt again after our emotional state is unanswered or rejected by our friend or lover or any number of other examples.

In short, strong emotions are interpreted as naive and childish by many, because of what is, IMO, a natural cause, not out of just pure rationless social dogma.
