I think in the culture I live in, (Appalachian) we are told from our
earliest age "you shouldn't feel that way". So, hearing this from the
"wizard of the highest power", we just naturally thought they were right.
I think that has a lot to do with what we say and do. If we think our
feelings are wrong, we don't accept them, and if we don't accept them, we
can't understand them, and that causes a lot of problems. The only way to
combat this, I think, is to just accept what we feel, as *uncontrollable*
and work on our actions to our feelings. We can control how we act. But
NOT HOW WE FEEL. Therefore, feelings are not bad or good, they just ARE!!
Obstacles are those things we see when we take our eyes off the Goal.
