In general I think its always important to learn to recognise our emotions when they arise and that they are impermanent. If we cling to them and dwell on them, we're solidifying the feeling rather than just letting it go. Seeing ourselves, our emotions, and everything else as constantly changing can help us to accept whatever is happening at any particular moment

I agree with this.

When in zen is told to be sad when you are sad it is meaning not to strugle with your emotion. Sadness will leave you sooner than you think... Watch your sadness, be mindfull about it. Accept that sadnes is ariseing and let it go.

The same with other emotions... when you feel angry watch your anger, do not struggle with it, do not fed it, don't use it, just watch it, there is nothing wrong about your anger... until you let it go.

Do not say: he has make me angry... say I am feeling angry and watch that anger... be mindfull about it... and let it go.
