Do your emotions make you a monster?

.....or do they simply help define you as a person?


By what standard do (should?) we measure ourselves as people (society)?
Is it in the strength of control we have over our emotions?
Is it the decisions we make regarding our actions (and consequences) as a result of said emotions?
Which is the true measure, the higher bar?
(which is more realistic?)
Does it vary from person to person, culture to culture?
Nature OR Nurture?

Which will you choose?
Rational, unemotional (scientific?), robot?
Irrational, degenerate (religious?), human?

Conscious, or sub-conscious?
