Anger is like a bomb – if it explodes around people it causes major damage. Go detonate it in a wide-open, solitary place. Or better still, find the source of your anger and defuse it. You’ll need time, patience and God’s point of view but chances are, the bomb won’t get remade as quickly again.

Solitude, expansive nature, brings delicious relief. Nature is in empathy with us. But there’s a way, also, of identifying our anger (and its source) with the objectivity of a scientist (treating it as a “puzzle”, if… possible), and tossing it away with the abandon that a cat does a mouse. Once you’ve spent time understanding it: Stand outside of it, as an onlooker, and laugh it in the face. The sense of triumph is fair compensation for giving up your anger. When we’re angry, we’re looking for compensation.
Thanks for the thoughts, Debbie. Very insightful!
