ANCIENT AND FOLKLORE UNDERSTANDING
In the past we have heard, "Don't let your heart rule your mind"; "Don't be carried away by your emotions"; "You'll never make it in business if you allow yourself to be governed by your emotions"; "Be rational. Keep calm"; "Don't lose your temper"; "Don't give in to your anxiety"; "Feel the fear and do it anyway"; "You shouldn't feel sad, angry, ashamed, guilty, anxious, happy" and so on. What foolishness to think that feeling the emotions is wrong!
Pushing the emotions under the carpet has its origins in the philosophies of the past. Emotion was for many years contrasted with reason, and seen as something to be worked against, guarded against or at least kept under control. To begin where most philosophical accounts of anything begins, Plato seemed to look down on emotion. Reason, spirit and appetite made up his tripartite soul, so emotion had no relevance. If anything, Plato saw emotion as something that confounds, interrupts, gets in the way of or otherwise detracts from human reason (Strongman, 2003). Amazingly, this view is still prevalent in everyday folk theory about emotion. For Aristotle emotion and reason were dualistic realities and reason was superior to emotion. Aristotle saw at least some of our feelings as arising from our views of the world around. He also saw emotion as being linked with pleasure and pain, and listed various specific emotions such as anger, fear and pity (Strongman, 2003).
