Hmm ... In psychotherapy I had to get my repressed anger out ( wow ... Was I angry! ) I think it's ok to be angry. Anger can motivate us to take positive action to resolve a very real problem - something I also learned in therapy.

Just encouraging folks not to live in denial about their anger, and not to stigmatize anger as something that less spiritual people do, all stuff I had to learn in therapy.

I hope I didn't misunderstood the post ... It has truth in I.

If there is anger in you, and it came out. there is also love and peace in there thats what you need to find now.

[IChoose in reply to gerrerd]

YES!

I think, that if we are angry, we can choose how we work it out. Lashing out seldom gets any result but more anger. If, instead, a reply is calm, to the point, it can be accepted. If not, one can walk away, knowing they have tried their best and taken the high road.

You post such thought provoking truisms. This is a great one!

[gerrerd in reply to NCAQuilter]

I try to post things that are true for me, and have overcome, Still learning, but it,s getting better every day.

They never stop coming, if you look for them, my friend.

[NCAQuilter in reply to gerrerd]

The fantastic thing is the opportunities are all around. We just need to keep our eyes and heart open to them!

In moderation and kept under control, it can be motivating and used to be productive. (I learned that in therapy😀)

But anger that consumes us and causes us to lose control is unhealthy and can cause irreparable damage. Allowing someone to provoke you or cause you to hold onto bad feelings is giving that person your power.

I'm realizing that I clicked 'Add to Home Screen' on this page, so whenever I click the icon for this site, the first words I see are 'It's not you, it's them'. ❤
