Are you, or are you not, the master of your feelings? It may be interesting to investigate this matter. The feelings you experience, either positive or negative, are caused by external circumstances. You love someone because they arise beautiful sensations in your soul. You resent someone because they did you wrong. Can you stop (or start) loving a person by relying on your will power? Can you change resentment into forgiveness in your heart by just "willing"it? Think about it. We are told that happiness (i.e. a blissful state of inner peace) should not depend on outer situations. We want to believe it and we might even succeed in believing it. Is putting such belief into practice easy? Is it even possible?
