My Refutation and Concession

 My argument is kind of abstract but it can be easily examined with our experiences. There would be some people who are against with my opinion. They would mention some steps to control emotions, successful experiments on human mind, and the advantages of letting emotions catch us up. However, these arguments are contradicted. First, the steps and therapies, suggested by lots of people who insist that they have their own know-how, are not the right methods for controlling emotions. They think methods such as taking some breath when they feel urgent or angry and ignoring the situation are great for controlling the emotions but the word 'control' itself doesn't fit for these methods. We can just ease or repress our emotions but the bad emotions might stay into the memory. The memory can bring the emotions back whenever it can, thus making you feel uncomfortable. It would be better to use the term 'delay the emotions' rather than 'control the emotions'. Second, the recent experiments succeeded in treating human mind seem as the great achievements but they still relied on the electronic devices. What if people do not have any devices when they are about to manage their emotions? They may not able to manage their emotions. We can not acutally manage our emtions without our own long trial and training. The devices can connect our brain each other for sharing some signals but they don't go well for our emotional training. To find the ways to control emotions, people should practice other experiments without using any devices. Third, some people say that just letting emotions catch you up in any ways could be better than bothering on each emotions. However, that is also not a good idea for our mental health. Human emotions are associated with many things in ourselves. There is one thing that all humans mention as a 'the cause of all kinds of disease'. That is stress, which people always receive and release in every moment. We would get stress if we just bury the emotions inside ourselves. Also we would unconsciously get the stress if we just let the emotions do on their own because it is hard to estimate what emotions we would feel and the results. Human, to get to know, is so senstive that they easily get stress.
