(highlight:: Negative Emotions Often Result from Having a Dirty Windsheld Instead of It Raining Outside
Summary:
Negative emotions such as anger, frustration, resentment, and disappointment are often a result of internal factors rather than external circumstances.
When experiencing these emotions, it's important to recognize that there is something within ourselves that needs attention. It's like driving with a dirty windshield - the dirt on the lens distorts our perception of the outside world.
The responsibility lies in cleaning our own lens first before blaming external factors.
People often make the mistake of thinking that expressing truth means blaming others and trying to control them to avoid triggering negative emotions.
In reality, this approach only reflects our inner struggle with feeling safe and secure, leading to attempts to control external circumstances.

Speaker 1
Disagree anytime we feel anger frustration resentment disappointment anything that we call a negative emotion towards something else there's something wrong with you oh okay interesting
Speaker 3
The mind will blame the other person what I'm saying is there is something within you're wearing a lens or a filter right now we go through life with a clear lens and as we go through life We're driving the car a little bit of dirt flick up and they hit onto the windscreen and now we're looking at the landscape saying gosh that bit's dark gosh that bit's muddy no no there's
Speaker 1
Nothing wrong with outside it's your lens that's what we need to clean first so it's about recognizing anytime I feel emotion there's something happening within me it's within me it's My responsibility to look at where people go wrong is they think that sharing truth means do you know what you're really pissing me off because you keep on doing this and I feel like you Don't care and I feel and you're not respecting me and you're not good enough essentially what we're saying and you need to change so we got a little mini dictator in all our heads and what It says is reality isn't right I want to feel safe and secure so what I'm going to try and do is I'm going to try and control reality I'm going to try and control what's happening around me And I'm going to try and control you so that you don't trigger me no no no no no no)
