Some of us can have inner peace without the crap on the edges, Cynthetiq. Having strong emotional responses removes or hinders the ability to use logic and reasoning to guide your actions. That is "bad".
Manic depressives \ bi-polar people have mania. That's certainly an emotional state, and I would say it is bad. It's cool to disagree with that, but at least acknowledge it's just a difference in opinion, not some fact.

"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers." (M. Scott Peck)
