Our emotional reactions are indeed our actions.
That's obvious. We r an emotional living being. Many of us are not able to control them in general. Our emotions comes before our behaviours. There is a good proverb in my language;
One who stands up in anger, sits down with a loss.
However, some people are able to control their emotions, we call them soulless but I believe those emotions are hidden somewhere in them.
Not to many, as they do not take responsibility for theirs. Yet, ironically, they want to punish others for their actions.
Control isn't burying emotion, it is being able to choose when to show and express them.
