Emotions!!
Jill: Yup! atlast, I am so thrilled. This was my dream and it has come true. I can't ask for more. I feel like running and jumping and dancing.
Jack: Congrats. Okay good this has come true. But stop acting like a kid. Stop jumping around.
Jill: (looking upset) What's wrong with being happy?
Jack: Fine, you are happy but you need to behave mature.
Jill: Is feeling happy and showing it a sign of immaturity?
Jack: It makes you look so kiddish.
Jill: What? From when did celebrating become a kiddish affair.
Jack: You are too innocent you won't understand...
Jill:(Am I really being kiddish, immature just because I am feeling happy and showing it? What should I do? Should I just smile when I actually want to dance?) What do you mean?
Jack: Do you know only animals allow their emotions to be shown like this without control?
Jill: Who told you am not in control?
====================================================================
Jane: Why are you looking so remorse?
John: It's because I am not feeling great. I am upset.
Jane: Now don't tell me you are again sulking about what happened.
John: Jane, I am not sulking. I am really upset and sad with what happened.
Jane: John, I know it was not pleasant. I know it hurt you. But you need to move on.
John: Jane why should I? I am upset. I know in a few days time this will pass. I know I will move on. But not now. I am upset and I have a right to be.
Jane: You know I read somewhere if you smile it will trigger your brain to be happy.
John: I am appalled Jane. A happy brain always triggers a smile it's not the other way round. If I ignore my hurt and cover it up with a smile it will remain inside and cause emotional stress. I need to vent it. Else it will destroy me from within.
Jane: Don't be stupid. You are being very sentimental and over emotional.
John: No Jane I am being human. I am dealing with my emotions instead of running away.

If I said you are emotional would that be a compliment or a disgrace??
Jack: Congrats. Okay good this has come true. But stop acting like a kid. Stop jumping around.

'disgrace' may not be the right word! but compliment definitely isn't. If someone called me emotional, I would try and bring back the Rational ME!
having emotions is different from being emotional.
when ppl tell me "control ur emotions", or "calm down", i readily come back in check. but not if they called me "emotional"- then i'd have one more emotion and they wouldn't like it. ;)
again, different people can be adept at handling different situations with ease and grace.
