Negative Emotions

A recent event in my life caused me to google around on the topic of a biblical answer to negative emotions, and I want to share an article I found. Now, I don't know anything about the author of the article to which I just linked, and I don't know anything about the organization that hosts the page, so I'm not going to recommend anything else over there at this point (maybe I will once I investigate the organization some more). However, the article stands on its own, and at first glance, I agree with what is said.
Our society teaches us that our feelings are very important. This is a partial truth. It is true that our feelings are important to a certain degree. God gave us emotions for a reason, and as long as we understand their purpose, their boundaries, and their "abnormal" state (see the linked article above for detail on this idea of their abnormal state) due to the fall, then we can say that feelings are important as an indicator. The problem comes when we start to trust those feelings, when we don't question whether the feelings are reflecting truth. Feelings are an indicator, but not a compass. Negative feelings may indicate something is wrong, but we should not rely on them to tell us what is wrong. I may feel that someone has hurt me. This feeling tells me something is wrong, but I should not trust the feeling on what is wrong (that the person truly meant what I feel like they meant). If anything, the feeling may indicate an area of pride in my own self. But even if the person did mean what I feel like they meant, why should I hold it against them? Or why should I use it to justify closing myself off to them? True love endures all things. I suspect, though, that many times the other person didn't mean what we feel like they meant. In many cases, our feelings get it wrong.
The article does a pretty good job of discussing various aspects of negative emotions, so I won't say anything more at this point. Read the article, and feel free to share your thoughts via the commenting mechanism.
