I did a little experiment with my 6 year old. I told her to pull out her emotion and see it in her hands (ofcourse I used simpler words). Then throw it away. Can you do that? She objected. She said, no, I need that. Hmmm interesting. Even a 6 year old (and probably not us) can see it. You need, for a certain degree, your anger, your fear, your lust, whatever. The trick is not to try to throw them away.
I guess, you need to feel them when they come up moment to moment, but not be consumed and driven by them on an ongoing basis.
