I understand, I just think that not allowing our emotions to overpower our emotions, does not come from being intelligent. But rather, like you said, from emotional intelligence, combined with emotional and compassionate empathy. To assume it, would mean that a person that is not intelligent, is incapable of learning and have self awareness ( which I totally disagree). Empathy is very important, all 3 types combined, because if we can't put ourselfs in the shoes of another, we difficultly will check ourselfs. It's the blame game...lol
