Theoretically it sounds great. But realistically as humans are brains are wired to respond to life threatening impulses with fear and anger, so to go against that would create repressed animosity thus causing long term health problems. A situation like missing a train that leads to a high paying job, maybe your only job, directly threatens your ability to provide food for yourself or your family. If your not scared, or angry, your lying to yourself, and that is a defense mechanism. Thats all it is a defense mechanism. Your trying to talk away the negative event like it isnt there.
