Negative Emotions

Our mind tends to create in itself a map of biochemical reactions, which we call emotions, that are deemed by the mind to be useful to our survival, and which connect physical reality and emotional reality together. What that gives rise to is the fact that we no longer perceive reality as it is, and we only notice our inner emotional perceptions.

The phenomenon is especially visible in the event of negative emotions, and lies at the heart of sadness. The sad individual indulges in the misty, smoky atmosphere where phantoms acquire real consistency, and finds complacency in it. What should one do in that case? The active person looks at this category of people thoroughly, and then says to them abruptly:

"You are the now useless reminiscence of an ended pain which desires to be resurrected";

alternatively:

"You are the old remorse of a fault that has already been atoned for."

Or else:

"You are dressed in false argumentations and believe you can persuade me because today I am in a favorable disposition. But I know that, as soon as I feel better, you will have no hold on my person and I will then desire to take care of myself rather than you."

He might also say the following, more prosaically:

"You are a spite. You are a feast of indigestion. You are a business disappointment. You are a rudeness that has not been successfully blunted. You are a miserable impression. You are a fluxion of teeth."
