Un-emotionality is not the equivalent of having a rational argument, or a reliable indicator that someone does. It is not the same as having a grasp of facts or science or of the actual conditions under discussion.
Emotionality is not personal attack. Personal attack is personal attack, and while there is such a thing as lashing out gratuitously or needlessly, the sole fact of someone’s being emotional, is not it.
That someone is emotional does not mean that they have not, or are not capable, of considering their own arguments logically or rationally.
Rationality and emotionality coexist within individuals. They are not a zero-sum quantity; they are not opposing or mutually exclusive characteristics.

The outcome of my days is always the same: an infinite desire for what one never gets, a void one cannot fill, an utter yearning to produce in all ways, to battle against time that drags us along, and the distractions that throw a veil over our soul.

so relevant right now.
