Is it possible to sustain the good emotions? Such a desire?

Anything done consciously is good, doesn't matter what it is.

@John Iverson  I already told you in another one of your threads, and more importantly, you told it to yourself first, that the only place where you can be helped is here. By trying to find another state that doesn't take place now, you are automatically separating yourself and falling apart, notice that.

It's not about never feeling "negative emotions", it's about learning to control them. This is what stoicism and enlightenment helps us to do.

Thank you to all your responses, i really feel the love in your all responses

@John Iverson Idk. For spiritual circles, it's one of them things where on one hand you see lovey dovey stuff about cultivating positivity, and then on the other hand you see stuff which is a lot more raw and nihilistic. 

By alternating so much between different opinions on other similarly polarising topics, I just see no piece of advice as good or bad. A piece of advice which is good for one person is bad for another.

Hark ye yet again — the little lower layer. All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event — in the living act, the undoubted deed — there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there's naught beyond. But 'tis enough.
