Buddhism teaches that you can change the nature of your experience by changing your own mind and behaviors - increasing the proportion of your life spent feeling calm, confident, positive,and compassionate. Sometimes, after many years of effort, we experience negative thoughts and emotions and find ourselves thinking, "I shouldn't feel like this." I discuss how to practice with this conundrum, and suggest that sometimes our internal experience can't or shouldn't be changed, but simply tolerated.
