Higgins:  Negative emotions are not punishments for previous deeds. Negative emotions are indicators that you need to change your thoughts. Street signs…that’s all emotions are.

Only humans continue to punish themselves after making a mistake. Animals do not do this. Mistakes are only miss-steps. Stop punishing yourselves for miss-steps. Instead, use your negative feelings about things to find your true path in this world. We assure you that looking around to identify what you don’t like and then pursuing a solution is the surest way to your happiness.
