For buddhists.....what exactly does it mean to be ENLIGHTENED?

be definition it means to be awakened to the ultimate truth. well what is the ultimate truth? buddha taught that certain emotions are what cause suffering and we should eliminate those emotions and replace them with love. well to me thats just common sense. i understand what jealousy and hate and anger does to people just from my own experiences and observation of other people. i feel like i have a good understanding of the emotions and how to cope with them and what causes them but i've never studied buddhism. so does that make me enlightened? even tho i still get angry some times myself. but when that happens does it make me unenlightened? or is being enlightened more of a spiritual thing? to me the ultimate truth is that we are all controlled by our emotions and we must learn how to deal with them in order to peacefully coexist in this world. am i right or wrong?
