I get the theory.. I really do.. but I don't believe it works in practice.
As an example, if my husband were to leave me, it would be his actions causing me mental pain, and bad feelings. I don't think it would be possible to decide not to be hurt by this.
Do you agree though, that if everyone just didn't feel anything from other peoples actions, we would all be very hard, cold people??
My husband telling me he loves me gives me good feelings. My husband telling me he is angry at me, gives me bad feelings. I don't believe this is something I can simply switch off and no longer have feelings caused by other people. I don't choose to be hurt by this, I believe it is human nature to be concerned about how others we care about feel about us.Anyway.. I'm off to bed for a bit.. bad bad day
