A Fitting Final Gift From Jimmy Carter

11. Thank you so much

Negative emotions are not real, they only SEEM real. They have no mass and can't be weighed on a scale. They are devoid of intrinsic self existence, as is everything else -- including us. This is the Buddhist teaching on emptiness, which is what is called "wisdom." We do feel emotions, pleasant and unpleasant. Best to recognize when they arise and let them go. That is a big part of training the mind not to get sucked into negative emotions.
