Imperfect vision

Understanding the problem with seeing things only with rose-colored glasses

There are many who see emotions as bad or negative, and think they shouldn't exist. But this mentality, instead of fixing the problem, actually adds to resistance and, ironically, more negative emotions. There are also those who try only to be positive, even if that isn't what they're feeling in the moment, which can also do the same thing. In this episode, I argue that none of these things works, because life is a cycle. What this means is that emotions, as well as events, thoughts, and experiences will be so-called positive one minute and so-called negative the next. This is because life is cyclical. This is played out every day with things like awake to sleep, dreams to no dreams, calm to excited, loving to angry, etc. There is nothing wrong with this, and in this episode I put forth the notion that the only way to deal with emotion and thought is to become aware of them without judging them.
