Yes, this is what UU's do

My motto has always been accept or change (wallowing in self pity is useless). But when it came to negative emotions I felt like acceptance didn't make any sense. I could control my bewildering feelings of loneliness, uncertainty, and fear. Acceptance is reserved for things out of my control, at least that was the way I always looked at it. This article hits at everything I have done to fix those feelings, and suggests the answer is simply realizing that they too are the state of the human condition. Just sit in their presence and embrace them, don't run away.
