Anger

"Anyone can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right persona the right time, and for the right purpose and in the right way - that is not within everyone's power and that is not easy." ~ Aristotle.

I think this pretty much explains itself.

Many of us struggle with anger, I think if we were to look deep into it we would see however that the true reason we are angry, the true person we are angry at, are ourselves.

I am struggling with a lot of anger right now. I look at it and try to follow the path of darkness through unknown waters, choppy and overwhelmed by great storm. I am having a hard time finding land, I have no map to follow, no northern star to guide me.

I think of a proverb I once read, "Anger can be an expensive luxury."

Indeed it can. We use it for excuses sometimes, an easy way out. Costing us people and lives that are irreplaceable. How do we then trace down the root of it, how do we find the eye of the storm so we can make it out onto the other side?

We must look at our vessel, ourselves. I suppose this is going to end up a bit from last nights ramblings about self awareness and trust. I believe all emotions and actions are tied to who we are, and that we must discover exactly what that is in order to be happy, productive, and strong.

If our vessel is built with cheap wood, i.e. we treat ourselves as if we were nominal, a trifle, inconsiderable, insignificant, portion of worth, this vessel will break under the pressures of the weather.

I am making this one short tonight, mainly because I am still searching through my path of destruction, I am trying to find the reasoning(s) of my anger. I am unsure as to the outcome, or the path to get there. I am sure of one thing though, it is a storm of the century.
