Reason is the beheaded king, emotion the slave revolt

Reason is the gatekeeper, but it cannot resist the rushing torrents of emotion

False belief is more emotional than true belief

I believe despite my doubts, belief gives me power reason takes away

You can deal with an emotion based on reason, but who can control an unreasonable emotion?

Emotion is created by a cause, whether that cause is factual or imaginary does not matter, as longer as the believer holds it as true.
