You might have a real point here, but it is very hard for me to understand what you’re saying. Why is “feelbetter” preferred to “feel better”?

Your second paragraph is parseable imo

What I take from it is that feelings are elusive, that you can never "reach" them. Your mind is constantly popping into existence feelings, emotions, and thoughts. Rather than trying to force yourself to "feel" a certain way, just notice how your mind reacts to the world or environment. The grasping or aversion of mind states leads you to spirals of thoughts or suffering.
Using emotions as data rather than judging emotions as moral choices, clever.
Yes, was looking for the plain English version too.
