You can’t control what emotions arise. You can only control what you do with them once they arise.

Many haven’t come to terms with the fact that they have a shadow. That they have a dark side.

All humans do. We don’t have a choice about that.

What we do have a choice about, is how we choose to deal with our dark side.

But sweeping it under the rug and pretending it doesn’t exist will only have the effect of betraying the action’s original intention.

Those who don’t embrace their dark side will inevitably damage friends, family and lovers more than the ones who do.
