Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of anxiety by explaining that the primary source of suffering is not anxiety itself, but the anxiety about being anxious. He points out that when we plan to defeat or 'slaughter' anxiety in the future, we are already operating from a state of anxiety in the present. This resistance and hostility toward our internal states only serve to make them persist. He suggests that instead of trying to maintain a sanitized or perfect self-image, one should allow themselves to experience the full spectrum of human emotions, including fear, anger, and lust, without suppression or false labeling.
