This is something many of us are aware of, but we didn't ask to be born.
We didn't choose where we'd be born, or the people that would raise us, and make us adopt their good and bad qualities (from the womb, and also from our interactions with them from an impressionable age). How much of who we are and how we act is actually deliberate, and not just a byproduct of countless unseen chain-reactions we call free will? Our emotional spectrum and consciousness is built in our biology, and molded from the environment, making how we act almost predetermined.
Looking at things from that perspective, I've begun to realize that getting lost in those emotions means being enslaved by forces you're not in control of. In addition, it means being enraged or impassioned by people who were likewise made and shaped by forces outside their control is like being upset by squirrel burying nuts, a dog barking at you or a woodpecker pecking at a tree for it's next meal.
Their all oblivious creatures, acting and reacting according to how they were born and raised.
