Thanks for the compliment. However, I have to disagree that we ever have to become comfortable with the actual feelings that we are experiencing. I do however believe that with meditation you can train your mind to greatly reduce over time the influences that fear, envy, jealousy, anger and hatred have upon your mind. In meditation, we instead train the mind to be patient.

I know this all might sound pretty screwy, but I do honestly believe that it is effective. If you are feeling anger, meditate on anger and train your mind to instead be patient. To be effective it has to be done consistently on a daily basis. You get better as you practice it.

Again, to risk my your view of my sanity, this is all basically built on Buddhist meditation techniques. It goes way back to an elective course in Eastern Religion that I took in college. Easy A and I also was quite interested in what I learned. I have dabbled with it over the years and now I find it really helpful. Not a cure-all, but helpful.
