^A Dalai Lama snippet: "...if
   your mental state is disturbed, full of emotion, it is very
   difficult
   to cope with problems, because the mind that is full of emotion
   is
   biased, unable to see reality. So whatever you do will be
   unrealistic
   and naturally fail." Helps explain why so many quickly-made
   plans fail. Rational planning takes a moment and is simply
   asking a few questions: Gas in the car? Food to eat?^
