Every emotion serves a purpose and should be embraced. We live in a world where "happiness" is the objective....
Yet, in a society of "happy" people we have the highest levels of pharmaceutical/drug abuse, suicides, violence, dysfunctional relationships, self-hate, low self-esteem, mental/emotional "illnesses" & imbalances, disillusionment, escapism, etc....
This is either due to our lack of understanding of happiness or what it's derived from/pursuits thereof, of other emotions, our relationship with them, or our ability to analyze & utilize them.
When you find a sound mind it is one that has embraced and conquered all emotions. They know how to analyze them, work with them, and build upon them.
They don't run away from them or avoid them.
