Being ignorant about your emotions or struggling against them only makes matters worse. Become more attentive to your emotions, get to know them better. To dissolve their power, use your wholehearted intelligent attention, this will help you discover their insubstantial nature.
We speak of opposites as antagonistic elements, but opposites are part of the same entity. They define one another as black defines white. They alternate with one another as war alternates with peace. Whenever something reaches its extreme it changes towards its opposite.
We are taught to distinguish good from evil, agreement from disagreement, this causes us conflict and anger. Having no desires and accepting things as they are, will give you peace, but you must share this idea with others for we are all part of them, and they are all part of us.
Living a life of sincerity and integrity, is not any guarantee against bad luck or ugly surprises. But life has learned that these traits will improve the odds of success, that working with a natural merit and practicing a natural good can be two of the best rules one can live by.
