Ok, Kelso. Someone somewhere said that pain in people is caused by a decided resistance or rational nonacceptance of their emotions. Specifically, when controllable, conscious efforts are pitted against uncontrollable, spontaneous feelings, people feel pain or discomfort. So, if one is an overly rational person, it may be possible that this conflict between rationality and emotion is experienced more often. (On a side note, the English language is insufficient sometimes . . . using "you", in a general sense, assaults and accuses the person you're speaking to and using "one" makes you sound like the Prince of Wales/the Queen . . . still, I had to use you even in this sentence. Argh.)

Does giving in or ceding to the uncontrollable make people happier? Or is that just a short term gain?
