*****
To begin with, let's admit to a dirty little secret, "Everybody" has an anger problem under various, specific and particular circumstances. Only with some people, anger in their lives is obvious, while with others, anger is contained, controlled and masked, often through power or position, in thier jobs, family and ongoing relationships. ... Passive anger versus aggressive anger.
Anger is not emotion, it is instead a "combination of emotion plus logic" that too often results in "illogic" and illogical reactions.
Yet, as our video shows us today, in its corrupting forms of harming ourselves and others, anger is instinctively used by we people to avoid awareness of emotion, weakness, pain and loneliness inside us.
Let us not ignore what is inside us. Instead we can listen very closely, then know what is behind our sometimes harsh responses.
