People who are highly emotional tend to be more prone to excessive compassion, love to worry about others, and even unconsciously meddle or help blindly. The result is often thankless effort, which not only consumes energy but also depletes one’s luck and boundaries. From the perspective of energy and personality structure, emotions tend to be “Yin,” and being overly emotional inherently means that the Yin energy in one’s personality structure is excessive. If a person’s internal structure has a strong “Earth” element, it often manifests as softness of heart, nostalgia, and being easily led by emotions.

These individuals usually do not realize that this is a personality shortcoming; instead, they may develop a self-glorifying illusion, equating being emotional with nobility, viewing pragmatic and利益-oriented people as vulgar, and even considering close resources and proximity to powerful figures as “petty behavior.” Such perceptions are actually not objective.

When emotions become excessive, they can overshadow rationality, causing people to act impulsively based on feelings. Whether from the perspective of reality and emotion, or the relationship between rationality and emotion, reality and rationality belong to “Yang,” while emotion belongs to “Yin.” The correct structure should be: Yang as the main, Yin as the auxiliary — reality should be dominant, and emotion subordinate; rationality should be higher than emotion, not swayed by feelings.

Of course, emotions are not unimportant. Naturally, feelings toward parents, children, and partners should be deeper — that is human nature. But regardless of the amount of emotion, it should never override reality and rationality. A mature and stable person always first bases themselves on reality, maintains rationality first, and then considers the weight and expression of emotions.

Rationality higher than emotion is a fundamental and unchanging long-term direction.
