[Star Wars] Did the Jedi sort of screw themselves with Anakin when they berated him over his mother right from the start?

In TPM, the Jedi Council practically acts like Anakin is unreasonable and dangerous for committing the crime of missing his *mother*. That's gotta set a really bad precedent. Do you think, perhaps, had they simply argued that he would be better off with his mother, or just free to live his life with someone to watch over him, he'd have resented the Council as much as he did?

The Jedi by this point have begun following a very flawed version of their own code. They belive that "there is no emotion, there is peace". This is impossible, even the greatest zen masters cannot and wouldn't hope to suppress every flicker of emotion.



An alternative version of the code exists which states "emotion yet peace". This makes much more sense, emotional control is a healthy pursuit, particularly in beings with superpowers. Emotional repression is the opposite of what you want to do.




Basically, Anakin needed firm but fair guidance, not to be ripped from the only family he knew and told that his emotions were evil.
