In your description, it sounds like building a fence around a hungry tiger. I think, understanding those impulses and directing them into a useful way is a healthier approach.
- jon_elbrook 6y agoExcept in this analogy doesn't account for the fact that a mindful person can simply wait for the tiger to disappear.

- TheNorthman 6y agoIf psychoanalysis has taught us anything, it's that if you're the tiger, it doesn't disappear until confronted. Recent years has also seen an increase in studies surrounding the sociological concept of `Mobbing'. This has taught us that the tiger only goes away if there is outside help, often in the form of fellow students, teachers, and so on.
