Life is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel
It is not a secret that our emotions play a decisive role in our lives and on many occasions they move us to act without even reasoning. When you see yourself or others in imminent danger, your amygdala is activated to tell your cell to secrete hormones that prompt you to act. Run or fight.
The amygdala can act anatomically speaking independently of the neo cortex, this means that if for some reason it is disconnected from the rest of the brain you will lose the ability to establish interpersonal relationships and the ability to empathize with others, even with your loved ones. However, emotions operate at the pragmatic level as a fairly basic rapid response mechanism and do not allow us to make decisions based on reason. For example when we feel too much anger or sadness and say or do things that we later regret.
We regularly live in a stretch and shrink emotionally speaking, during our day we experience a wide spectrum of emotions that make us feel differently and act reactively. An example of this occurs in social networks and the reactions of people to different stimuli. If you are lucky and live in a first world country maybe your life oscillates in acceptable levels between happiness, fear and worry, however if you live in a place assaulted by war, poverty and violence, your emotions are much more likely to incline to the side of fear and worry. We just react.
The experiences we experience, the stronger or more traumatic are more powerful and can also shape the way in which we perceive the world. However it is not healthy neither for oneself nor for those around us that we let ourselves be manipulated by our emotions since, generally these do not give us a clear vision of what is really happening, we must learn to know our emotions with the order to live in balance.

Horrible crimes occur in a moment of uncontrollable anger, people die because they can not control their fear to act correctly.
And even so it is not wrong to feel emotions and enjoy them, it is not bad to love someone, laugh with a joke or cry with a movie. But we must become aware of how these affect our lives and our behavior.
In the end hell or heaven is in our minds and depends a lot on us as we want to experience life.
