Calm? Why should I be calm?
'I wish I could think of a positive point to leave you with," Woody Allen once said at the end of a standup routine. "Will you take two negative points?"

would have us believe that the emotionally mature can achieve the same results without the need for primal emotions
When you try to cool down hot emotions, what tends to happen is that you end up either repressing them or losing them altogether
social interaction loses its meaning
without that, many of our actions and reactions become meaningless
reminder that emotions are in themselves neither good nor bad
the universal injunction to think more positively should make us just a little bit angry
