Yet another difference between men and women...
To men, emotions can be WRONG.
To women, emotions are never WRONG.
From where I sit, emotions will never be wrong. They can't be wrong. There is no fundamental basis for emotions to be wrong or right. You can't control your feelings.
You can control how you deal with emotions. You can control your behavior in conjunction with those emotions. These things can be right or wrong. They are cognitive decisions that a person should be held responsible for.
Emotions are something to be recognized and understood. Their existence must be validated. Their source should be sought. Any root cause should be dealt with.
People go through a lot through their lives, some more than others, and we have to find a way to process it all. Our personal, internal response to those experiences is what makes us who we are. Those emotions cannot be wrong, only how we express them.
