The story is the external cause of what awakened the feeling. An emotional button is pressed and our mind gets hold of who pushed it, the injustice of it, the why of it etc. and plays it over and over, turns it inside out, enhances it, judges it, blows it out of proportion, meanwhile instead of just living out the original feeling, I've added fuel to the fire and can feel it for hours, days, weeks, even longer. Someone might have pushed the button, but in the end I am responsible for what I feel.
