Unhelpful assumptions or biases cause strong emotions when they are inaccurate. Why do we assume certain things about others when assumptions and biases cause such problems? If there’s a problem, then understanding it empowers us to change it and understanding the brain as a pattern-matching organ which fires emotions to meet needs, means that we can change the biases - or automatic pattern-matches - that are unhelpful.
