Feelings are not good or bad in and of themselves. Some people come to Buddhism with the impression that we have to become unfeeling to be Buddhists, like robots or something. This is not the case. It’s not about eliminating feelings. I don’t know if that’s even possible, although we certainly do have an ability to bury our feelings deep down and not address them. That’s probably not a good thing to do.
