Nicholas - very well said!!! The emotions well up inside -- or
the instantantaneous anger, or guilt, or my favorite one,
"Righteous Indignation" (How DARE she do/say that! who does
-she- think she is!?) -- you'll feel the emotion -- BUT it's
possible to let them pass by, like watching clouds pass
overhead. Takes daily, daily practice. Most emotions, I find,
with a little practice, I can get past in 20 minutes at most.
some exceptions, always - but I really work at it. The instant
ones I try to get rid of RIGHT AWAY - within seconds. They
should teach this stuff in school - we'd be so far better off as
a society! "
