Emotions hearts open

Others teach Dorp speaks like Pericles. His words are thunder and lightning. Others lecture Dorp always held forth and declaimed. Another teacher might be content to insinuate himself into the mind of the listener Dorp was not content to gently persuade. He opened up the heart of the listener, he broke into his mind. Another man s speech might be slow, indifferent, quiet Dorp s was rapid, impetuous, direct. The words of another might be learned Dorp s were touching and full of emotion.84... 

An awake person has a heart that is open and engaged. He no longer feels a need to close his heart or shrink away to protect himself. When a feeling arises, he is aware of it and welcomes it. He neither suppresses his negative emotions nor fans them, for he knows that both reactions only keep such feelings alive. Instead, he allows every negative emotion to rise within him, have its life, and then pass away.
