Acharya Prashant explains that emotionality is fundamentally the same as thought. He states that an emotion is simply a thought that has become intense. When a thought is light, the body does not perceive it, but when it intensifies and becomes concentrated, its effects begin to show on the body. This physical manifestation of an intense thought is what is known as emotionality. For example, a slight feeling of anger is just a thought and may not be visible, but when this thought intensifies, it leads to physical reactions like red eyes and a trembling body, which is then labeled as being emotional. Similarly, a mild thought of sadness might not be apparent, but when it grows stronger, it results in tears, and the person is considered emotional. Acharya Prashant cautions against giving any special importance to emotions, as they are not inherently pure, sacred, or real. He describes emotionality as a state where a thought has gone 'completely mad' and has broken all limits, causing the body to react. The root of all emotional display is a thought; if the thought is removed, the emotional reaction ceases. The reason the same event can trigger different emotional responses in different people is due to their varied external conditioning. For instance, in a battle, one side's victory brings joy while the other side experiences sorrow, all in response to the same event, due to their opposing conditioning. He points out that people often devalue thoughts but give great importance to emotions, mistakenly considering them more authentic. This is a flawed perspective because an emotion is just an agitated, uncomposed thought. People often use emotional displays as a tool for manipulation. He warns to be cautious of emotionality, especially from those who use it with a purpose, calling it a very fake thing. He notes the irony that while truly valuable things like peace and truth are often trifled with, worthless emotions are given undue respect. He concludes that one should be wary of emotionality and not be swayed by dramatic displays, which are often just a sign of a disturbed mind.
