Probably, but you can not always control your feelings, you know! I admit that I am emotionally very sensitive, and unfairness really affects me a lot, there's nothing I can do about that. First I get angry, then I get into a depressive period which sometimes last a very short time, sometimes for months. I am still in that period....! :-(
