Soon I’ll be interviewing my good friend @drrhanson, author of Buddha’s Brain and Hardwiring Happiness. He’s a great guy with a deep practice: if you have thoughtful questions for the interview, please reply with them here.
Have you read any of his material? Because he talks about those types of situations quite a bit.

Though, truly, I'm not really looking to "feel better." It's a strange idea to me.
-
So would you say that your question was actually more of a criticism or position statement than a question?
-
No, it was a real question. Don't put fucking words in my mouth, man.
-
Just checking. After you deleted your other tweet in this thread I wasn’t sure. Anyway, that exact question has been the basis of a long term discussion the two of us have been having. (i.e. is it about changing feelings or accepting feelings). He has useful things to say @ it.
-
So, can he tell me how to feel good about the sudden, violent death of my best friend, or not?
-
I will definitely ask him something along those lines. And my sincere condolences on the loss of your friend. That sucks.
-
Thank you. And it doesn't suck, it just is. My feelings about it also just "are." If I could change what happened, I would, but why try to change my feelings?
