Our emotions lead to a vicious cycle if they are not brought under control. Emotions, not kept under control can often lead to rash decisions, that one might regret on a later date. what starts off as strong emotion, causes the mind to make generalizations which are extremely biased. This further impairs judgment, and one's reasoning abilities might now by fallacious. This makes one's language emotional. often Language becomes hostile, and can touch the emotions of others too, creating a whole new set of emotions. Hence one is finally back to where they started, harbouring Strong and powerful emotions. these emotions have other sources as well.
Taking History to prove this cycle, we go back to the end of the first world war, in the ruins where the victors, France, UK and USA meet with the biggest losing party, Germany int he Hall of Mirrors, Versailles, France. France having most enmity against Germany was all ready to come to some sort of harsh consensus. Clemenceau, the Prime minister of France, was overwhelmed by the strongest of emotions against Germany. He was angry and this anger made him hate all Germans. He blamed all of them for the war, and came down to the generalization that all Germans are guilty of aggression, and hence, decided that all Germans deserved to be punished. If the Germans could create such destruction, it was time now for them to beput into teir place. And so ignoring the prospect of rational thinking, his mood for revenge was consoled by the writing of the treaty of versailles. this was the emotional Language Of Clemenceau through which he punished Germany, and attempted to pull the very soul out of the country. This fallacy of his, created a whole new set of issues, and not only was it not enough to make the Frenchman feel better about the war and the loss of life in his country, but it also angered the Germans to such a great extent, that it paved the way for the rise of Hitler, sowing the seeds for the second world war. Thus, the cycle continues even till today, and we see the scars in the protected trenches, and memorials of all the sodliers.
Man needs emotions guaranteed, but they must be under some restraint, for emotional outrage can lead to events as serious as a world war. The vicious cycle is taking over our ability to reason, and so we must learn to control it, and end this cycle, of error after error.
