There are only bad ways of expressing or handeling them. Anger, sadness, joy, love, hate. All have their place. Depression happens when the normal flow of emotions is blocked or diverted. Being of an Italian background I know how to let emotions out. Being 43 and disabled I know when it's worth letting the emotions flow and when it's just a waste (I only have so much energy to expend now that I can't afford to waste it on nonessentials). As Budi said, coose to be happy. Most people don't know it but we can all have control over our emotions. But since few people know this fact they end up being lead by them. When the world kicks you in the teeth it's ok to be unhappy or angry or frustrated (or all three) but you should not spend to much time on them. Move on to happy, or at least mildly amused. You'll live longer. [<em>sorry for the spelling errors. I don't do english very well</em>] There are really no bad emotions. There are only bad ways of expressing or handeling them.

He said to Anakin Skywalker like this: <em>...fear is the path to the darkside fear leads to anger anger leads to hate hate leads to suffering...</em> Those words hit me in the first place. Suddenly, I'm getting more understand about what is going on. That's why Anakin had become a Darth Vader, because he always in fear... That's why the evil had failed to tempt Jesus at top of the hill, because He never be afraid :) I choose to be happy :)

One face he shows in public, one face he shows to friends and family and one face he only shows himself. :) The Japanese say, a man has three faces.
