It’s Time to End the War On ‘Negative’ Emotions

It’s Time to End the War On ‘Negative’ Emotions


uring the 1950s and 1960s, the writer and lecturer Alan Watts helped popularize Zen Buddhism in the West. In one of his recorded talks titled The Middle Way, Watts described the Buddhist recognition that the positive and negative elements of life cannot exist without one another.

“If you try to gain the positive and deny the negative, it’s as if you were trying to arrange everything in [a] room so that it was all up and nothing was down,” Watts said. “You can’t do it. You’ve set yourself an absolutely insoluble problem.”

This idea that positive emotional experiences can exist only if we have the capacity to feel negative emotional experiences runs throughout Eastern philosophy. (The Chinese notion of yin and yang is another example.) Emotions such as fear, sadness, disappointment, and worry are unavoidable, these traditions teach us. They are part of the human condition — the necessary antipodes of joy, delight, pleasure, contentment, and relief. Attempts to stamp them out are doomed to fail.
