…ituations that can activate the angry in us. Or the selfish, or the jealous or the hate. When we’re making progress in meditation we start to quell these automatic reactions and replace them with intentional, neutralizing responses. We react with understanding or kindness or generosity. And then, eventually, we start to feel the negative feelings less in the first place.

How many times in a day do you get angry? As you practice meditation, you’re making progress if you find yourself getting angrier less.

Only ask “WHY?” when you can gain. Never ask it when you know there is no answer.
