How to Transmute Negative Feelings

Han likens our feelings to the river, where each drop of water represents a different feeling. We reject negative feelings and embrace positive ones when both are a part of us. Transmuting negative feelings is like cooking potatoes: we can't eat raw potatoes, but we don't throw them away. Likewise, we should not run away or cut off what we don't like about ourselves. We should learn to face and transform them.
