emotional insanity

Read a random definition: occupare

A quick definition of emotional insanity:

Emotional insanity is when a person's strong emotions or feelings make them act in crazy ways, even though they can still think and reason. It's like having a really strong urge to do something that you know is wrong or dangerous. This kind of insanity is different from other types of mental illness because it's caused by emotions, not just problems with the brain. Sometimes, people who do bad things because of emotional insanity can't be held responsible for their actions in court.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Emotional insanity is a type of insanity that is caused by intense emotions or passions. It can lead to a complete derangement of intellect, even though the person's reasoning abilities may remain intact. This type of insanity is sometimes described as an irresistible impulse to do an act.

Example: A person who is normally calm and collected may become emotionally insane if they experience a traumatic event, such as the sudden death of a loved one. They may act out of character and do things that they would not normally do, such as committing a crime.

Explanation: This example illustrates how emotional insanity can cause a person to act in ways that are out of character. Even though the person's reasoning abilities may remain intact, their intense emotions can lead them to make irrational decisions and behave in ways that are not typical for them.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs
