Are the negative emotions enemies or friends?

They are a combination of physical sensations in the body and thought processes in the mind.

Not reacting with aversion to negative emotion and seeing into their impermanent, unsatisfactory, and not self nature diffuses their ability to get a hold over us.

Trying to deal with negative emotion on the level of the storyline only feeds it in my experience.
