Emotions are strange. They control us more than we control them.
A single feeling can shape the course of our entire life.
Fear makes people hesitate.
Anger makes them reckless.
Love blinds them, and despair crushes them.
Yet, without emotions, humans are nothing but empty shells.
People believe they understand their own emotions, but do they really? If they did, they wouldn't be controlled by them. Instead, they would use them.
Happiness fades. Sadness lingers. Hope can be shattered in an instant. No matter how strong a person is, emotions will always find a way to break them.
But emotions aren't the enemy. They are a weapon—one that can be sharpened and wielded. A person who can control their emotions can control themselves. And a person who can control themselves… can control everything.
Perhaps that's why emotions are feared. Because once someone understands how to manipulate them—their own and others'—they become something terrifying.
