Changing One's Emotional Set Point

Posted by ron1953 on June 29, 2012, at 18:33:19

The very lively discussion on "ObamaCare" brought to mind some things. First off, there has been much of what some might consider incivility, yet the discussion continued without interference from authorities, although some posters did voice some concern. Although some people involved (actively or passively) may have been disturbed by the content, I'm pretty sure it did no real or lasting harm.
Now, back to my title. I think an unmoderated board gives us additional opportunity to change our emotional set point - that is to see if we can be less upset about something today that would have been more upsetting yesterday. I prefer to continue this process and am pleased when I, via self-observation and practice, react less-strongly to something that might've unglued me in the past. I fear that those who want strong moderation may want to protect their emotional set point as opposed to considering a possible reset.
