"Let your emotions go, be rational"
Be rational, in the sense of be aware of causality between what we can perceive our brain is doing and some action.
Is this perception what really separates emotions from reason?
The brain processes information so fast that we cannot perceive our own actions being executed; that's acting emotionally.
The brain processes information slowly enough for us to (think that we can?) control our actions.
The difference between the last phrase with or without the parentheses defines the difference of a world with free will and one that is programmed.
