The negative emotions are the greatest challenge to someone who is attempting to cultivate a calm mind. Another term usually associated with calmness is "peace".[11] A mind that is at peace or calm will cause the brain to produce "good" hormones, which in turn give the person a stable emotional state and promote good health in every area of life, including marriage.[12] Seeing the rise in crime and diseases around the world which are more often than not the consequences of the emotions going 'out-of-control',[13] it is therefore considered beneficial for many to stay calm and cultivate it in every possible situation, especially during stressful events such as demise of a family member or failure in business. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-1136.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-1136.txt
