“People never regret when they come out of a movie and they've been crying. I think people need it. That's why people have the theater and live music, which is dwindling as well.

“Pain - physical, emotional and spiritual pain - is more than just a condition that needs to be silenced, numbed or "fixed." Pain in all its forms is also a message, a kind of distress signal to our hearts and minds. There are times when it's really important to tune into that message and just listen to it.

“Crucial to how we feel is being aware of how we are feeling in the moment. The sine qua non of that is to realize that you are being emotional in the first place.

In Western terms, it's trying to increase the gap between impulse and saying or doing something you might regret later.” FeelsTryingFirstsMomentsFeelingsMightChoicesTermRealizingEmotionEmotionalRegretIncreaseWesternBuddhistImpulseFlamesGapsSparksCrucialRecognizingDealing With It Author:Paul Ekman
