Playing with Metaphors is a risky game. Metaphors show as much reality as they hide; and worse, they sometimes lock your mind. If you enter the world of metaphors then you can not escape using the arguments of Reason. Apart from your God and your Will, only the key metaphor can unlock and free your mind.
I will not dwell on this. In short, metaphors are generally impressive in nature. They are meant to be impressive. So get impressed, but think twice before getting convinced by them. Because valueless imagination is being marketed with great aggression. The sellers feed on people's appetite for complexity and pseudo-intellectualism.
However, with time I have realized the benefits of being emotionally simple.

Me too.
Alas,it's not the nature of emotions to be simple...
hey, that above statement was not by me... He seems to have misunderstood your point. He thinks youa re saying emptions are simple; while you mean emotional simplicity -- a way of dealing with them pateintly and knowingly. Less romanticism, more intensity. Less wonder, more understanding.

You are spot on. It is naive to think that emotions are simple, but it is wise to be emotionally simple. :)
