I had a similar insight after doing some meditation and noticing how my own emotions are both predictable and ephemeral. There was a brief period where I’d carelessly say something that upset someone, they’d go into “not OK” mode, because they were upset, and all I’d be able to think was “alright let’s just give it a minute for the upsetness to pass and then we can move on with the conversation”.
