Ha Ha!

I was about to answer this question with a bit of a different approach, but it seems element has beat me to the punch of how I was going to respond!



I do think mindfulness is quite important. initially, we may become more aware as anger takes hold, for example. Also in terms of our response to situations it is quite important. We must constantly be vigilant and on guard towards our enemies: our affective emotions. But I feel that this may only help to contain things.

As element pointed out, we need to develop wisdom in order to cut through to the root of it all. We need to investigate this attachment we have to the so-called self, and the way we view things. Whether it be through inference, contemplation and meditation. Until we develop this wisdom, then we will always be at the mercy of our habitual tenancies and karma. We are constantly being fooled by appearances.
