Why do you have to loose your spontaneity when you are able to choose
your emotions?  You can still choose to feel the happiness, the sadness,
the generousity, the empathy,.... you can choose all these things!
(Isn't it great!)  

But, you can also choose not to feel emotional pain, anger, frustration,
hostility, hatred.  Does this constitute losing spontaneity?
