To reduce destructive emotions we need to strengthen constructive emotions. For example, to counter anger we cultivate love and compassion.

I don't think human affection and compassion are just religious concerns; they're indispensable factors in our day-to-day lives.

Buddhism strongly discourages blind faith and fanaticism.

If a person's basic state of mind is serene and calm, then it is possible for this inner peace to overwhelm a painful physical experience. On the other hand, if someone is suffering from depression, anxiety, or any form of emotional distress, then even if he or she happens to be enjoying physical comforts, he will not really be able to experience the happiness that these could bring.

Nowadays the world is becoming increasingly materialistic, and mankind is reaching toward the very zenith of external progress, driven by an insatiable desire for power and vast possessions. Yet by this vain striving for perfection in a world where everything is relative,they wander even further away from inward peace and happiness of the mind.

There is soul music, soul food, and soul love.

Conversion is not my intention. Changing religion is not easy. You may develop some kind of confusion or difficulties.
