A very good article which explains why people seeking an end to anxiety may actually be destroying their opportunity to be happy. Some feelings are definitely intended to evoke a response. If one were to attack the symptom - the feeling - rather than to allow it to trigger action, it could very well prevent a necessary response. For example, we may see something we fear and decide to minimize or remove the feeling of fear through drugs or some other distraction; However, by doing so, we run the risk of becoming a victim of whatever caused that fearful feeling in the first place. It may be worth everyone's time to read this article... ^_^
