Summary

This quote emphasizes that it is unrealistic and unreasonable to believe that we can avoid negative emotions completely or constantly experience positive ones. The Law of Emotional Choice advises us to accept and recognize our feelings, but it also encourages us not to dwell solely on the negative emotions that we encounter. In essence, it reminds us that we have the power to choose how we respond to our emotions and to strive for a healthy balance between acknowledging them and not allowing them to hinder our well-being.
