“The gift of perception is a wonderful thing; you get to choose how you feel from moment to moment!”

This is a debatable quote. I’ve found that I can’t completely control what I feel or when I feel it, but that I can control how strongly I feel it (most of the time).
It really depends what emotion it is: I find that the emotion of happiness is a very delicate emotion that can snap if the slightest thing goes wrong, or if you are emotionally sensitive to your surroundings. The emotion of sadness is hard to change or control depending on the situation, but can be dulled down using friendly support and things that cheer you up. There are rare times when sadness can be turned around completely if the root problem of the emotion is generally insignificant. The emotion of annoyance is something that is only created depending on how you perceive a certain thing to be; one of my greatest flaws is the fact that I can be easily annoyed by what others believe in, but I am slowly working on that as so I can at least teach myself to understand why someone believes in the thing they do.
The emotion of confusion, in my opinion, is the easiest to fix. All you have to do is look deeper into what you’re confused about and you’ll most likely understand in a short amount of time.
The emotion of anger is easier then most to slow down and even extinguish completely, but in the cycle of being angry can create the most damage (both permanent and temporary), and determined anger about a certain thing can lead to violence on different degrees, which is usually permanent mental damage if not permanent physical damage.

Mixed emotion is the only type of confusion that’s not as easy to fix, and can occasionally cause permanent mental damage if not dealt with immediately and in the right way.
Support from friends and guidance from others is the best way to figure out how you truly feel about something, but eventually you’ll have to take everything you know about how you feel and everything anyone has ever told you to attempt to help you and just sit down with it, and think. This will eventually lead you to discover how you truly feel, and hopefully for better as opposed to worse.

Now on to fear; and emotion that is easily toyed with and manipulated to work in the favor of the greedy and power-hungry.
Fear can be an incredibly damaging emotion depending on the scope and intensity it’s felt. Fear of death or fear of rejection can cause someone to lose there courage and not do what they had planned to do, well it can also do the opposite and force them to do something for the good of themselves and/or others.

Courage is only fear that is used for good.
