Indeed! The realization that it is directly up to you whether you feel happy or sad is truly an enlightening feeling, haha. The weight of life's burdens is all in the mind, as earthly tethers only bind you if you let them, haha.

We do not choose emotions, therefore emotions are neither good nor bad. It is how we choose to act on these emotions that makes it good or bad.

Ahh, that would definitely be a far more accurate way of expressing that view, haha. I suppose I tend to lose sight of how emotions truly are, as my instinct to detach tends to cloud such interpretations on occasion, haha.
