They've got to be acknowledged and felt, seems to me, accepted and somehow healed.

Hi Pleroo,
This really is not rocket science. (Boy, that sounds rude, didn't mean it that way...)
When we smell trash while walking the dog ...we cross the street.
When we see murders on TV we switch the channel.
By doing this we see the immense power we have over our thoughts, and thus, how we feel.
If one thinks it is necessary to be close to the trash...well, hey...so be it..
it's their Path, I say.
Good question.
