If you were driving a car forward at normal street speed ie. 35mph and suddenly threw it into reverse or park you would ruin the transmission. What prevents a human from having a physical collapse and/or lasting damage to the brain cells when they change moods rapidly. Going from a person who is in a good mood then is thrown into a situation in a matter of seconds that they are so afraid or angry they could kill.

It doesnt happen in seconds it happens over a lifetime. A brain is not a transmission.

We have acquired the innate ability to respond to these rapid mood swings through the evolutionary process.
In order to survive, we must accommodate these type of emotional upheavals without any mental damage or dysfunction.
