Yes...true. Emotions man be an accurate representation/indication of your
personal/internal reality. Emotions may be effected by external reality but
the reverse is not true. In other words emotions (feelings/needs/wishes)
are a good indication of where we are, not the universe. Emotions can act
counter to reason or in support of reason. It seem everyone has emotions
(that is not an option) what we link our emotions to (values/ideas) is.
