simple rules - alive why

3 simple rules:

indifference to negative emotions
don't psychoanalyse unless asked
meditate

the hardest part of human behaviour
is dealing with negative emotions
in others
in ourselves
the best way is:
observe only
ie benign, wise indifference
ie don't get sucked into a storm

to psychoanalyse is dangerous
unless the subject wants it

meditation:
for some people,
maybe for all people, if they knew how to practise it well,
meditation helps
by keeping emotions at a greater distance
so they can be felt with benign indifference
whether the emotions are in
others
or ourselves
