We all enjoy the feeling of love, likewise we are all crushed by the act of betrayal. Our emotions tell us how to feel but not always how to act. You can feel anger and not perform rash actions... you can experience frustration and remain mellow. Life is just as much what happens to us as how we react back.
Anyone with the power to anger us, controls us. Do insults from a ugly stranger sting as badly as it would from your biggest crush? Of course not. To us the stranger and the stranger's opinion doesn't matter to us. The crush on the other hand, we place value in their words... even if it's the same insult.
Disassociate emotion and reaction. There will be highs in life as well as lows, let neither impact you too greatly. Stay calm in the face of panic and patient when you are normally angered. Impulse is important but actions that don't help you may ultimately hurt you. We are only as happy as we allow ourselves to be... choose happiness. Not everything that happens in life can be control by us, but our attitudes can be.
