From my poem "Of Emotional Intelligence"

Emotions evolutionary prize

other animals may indeed have souls

Feelings allow spirits to realize

Goal of elevating on totem poles

Humans to achieve our intended roles

Feelings spiritually guide egos

Persuade others with ethos and pathos

Here’s an oxymoron to consider

EQ incorporates lots of logos

This concludes dizain portion of dinner

Time for an imayo course, of intense EQ

Do not pursue happiness — it and sadness both fleet

Contentment is where you’ll find, serene state of mind

Allow emotions to flow, return there lest blow

Please understand the stoics, don't push feelings down

The word does not reflect roots, Marcus A. rolls eyes

Do not get carried away, yet please deeply feel

If you lava dome feelings, end up like Pompei
