When we see the truth of life, death, out thoughts become free of emotions.

"Most of us aren't willing to face the reality of impermanence and death. That's because we forget that our lives are transitory,
that we quarrel with each other, as if we are going to live for ever.
But, if we face the fact of death, our quarrels will come to an end.
We will then realize the folly of fighting when we ourselves are doomed to die. Excited by emotions our thought being clouded, we cannot see the truth about life. When we see the truth, however, our thoughts become free of emotions."
