Many people fall into a trap of believing they are what their emotion is when that is not true. Just like how people label themselves as angry people in nature when it is not truly them but have been disturbed in the past and lost their natural harmony inside.
A thing to be aware of in false thoughts in which many people fall victim to, is the fact that the person become or think they are that false thoughts. In truth, the innate nature is pure, calm and tranquil and enlightened. So there are people who either confuse their true identity with superficial body or material goods, or more deceptively, their temporary non true self emotion which arises from afflictions and disturbance.
People describe emotion as a cloud which comes and goes, it is not true nor fixed. Another good analogy is that of a wind blowing the leaves of the tree. The leaf moves and the tree mistaken itself that it moved, but in actuality the wind is moving the leaf and not the tree moving the leaf. In the same way, we should be aware that these afflicted thoughts arises from delusion are not from the true self but a passing wind.
