Dealing with your emotions is not just a matter of comfort. Imagine you are walking on a railway platform and a train is going through the station. Your bag gets caught on it as it passes and you fall. The train then drags you along the platform and you get bruised. You quickly have to let go of your bag to have any hope of surviving. We all have these bags of emotions that we hold on to and at crucial times you let go of those emotions in order to not get hurt.
