What if we embraced all our emotions as being good, positive, no matter what. I wonder what would happen? Would be very interesting to try. Not just allow them to be experienced but to see them as something so acceptable, healthy and appropriate, which sounds along the lines of what you suggest here. We have all leaned how to discern our emotions and make choices, but were never instructed to really not-discern them and see what happens then. And that's akin to the Adam and Eve story where they don't discern while in Eden and then tasting from the tree of knowledge causes discernment and cause and effect and naming things good and bad accordingly. Before that, its seems it was all good : ) So the change (biting the apple) was the "bad" entering into perception.
