Re: Real World Philospohy
Happiness, sadness, and the other emotions are all part of life and I feel that it is important that we experience both joy and sadness. Of course, nobody is happy 100% of the time. The 'negative' emotions like anger and sadness aren't in themselves negative; we need to experience them. What is positive or negative is how we choose to act on those feelings. The feelings are part of the life experience, and if we suppress our emotions and always feel neutral, we aren't living life to the fullest. Having said that, it is unhealthy to spend long periods of time feeling anger or hate, and not letting go of the emotion. I guess we need to feel the anger or sadness, but we also need to let go of it after we have experienced and felt it.
