I just saw Niagara Falls for the first time! I felt like remaining there for hours absorbing the overwhelming might of the sight. But not yielding to what I felt like but doing what I needed to do (record this show) was the right thing to do. We all make the mistake of believing that our feelings are all important and also all powerful. Marriages end because “I no longer feel anything for her”. Affairs begin because “I feel so wonderful when I’m with her”. Businesses fail when one person explodes in anger against his partner. Anger is another feeling. How about worry and stress? More feelings you need to learn to control. Fortunately in this show I make accessible ancient Jewish wisdom’s timeless and true technique for controlling feelings rather than having them control us.
