Very few people I know can control their own feelings. I believe, that by most people, the feelings take over the person.
They certainly influence nearly all of our decisions in some way, even though most of the time we know they shouldn't.
our feelings do effect the way we act, but we can choose to ignore them and supress them. but then you become a very reserved person so they are effecting you. even if it is only on a sub conscience level
I did not put the option: "If we can control ourselves, emotions control us..", but it does appear under my name. Weird... :-/

Simply put, feelings and emotions are things which we can control. We can change the way we feel at will, from angry, to sad, to happy. This can be done by simple thought processes. For instance: If I was feeling really happy, I could think of someone doing something really wrong or bring an image of something that angers me to my mind and focus on it becoming angry. This isn't to say that there are times when emotion or feelings control us, but for the most part it is us who can, if we wish it, control our feelings at will. The real question is "Is there a way to completely seperate ourselves from our emotions?" This can be answered by no. It is impossible, no matter how logical and intelligent you become, some sort of emotion will remain. After all, being impassive is an emotion too. :)
Neither. Although some people do have a higher degree of emotional intelligence.
I think the feelings control us. Just on monday, this kid punched me in the face, it didn't hurth much, but the feelings of anger got to me. I knocked him in the face with everything i had. He fell to the ground and started bleeding. It turned out this kid got his lip busted open like hell and had to get a shitload of stitches. Man I felt bad for him, but they gave me community service. Morale of the story, try to take control of emotions dammit.

Feelings. That's the value of discipline. To make the opposite true.
Or, in regards to anger - instead of trying to control it, try redirecting it towards something that doesn't cause someone else to suffer. There's a lot of raw power there. The trick is learning how to use it.
" you can control your feelings"
It's fake control: it's just repression. Actually people naturally do this to some extent. Which leads to imbalances.
