Mastering Anger
Anger doesn't have many constructive outlets. Such potential for such power. So few, though, are masters of what they feel and not the other way around.
I rage inside. Seldom does it break through. Such self-restraint is not mastery either. That I do violence only to my own stomach lining merely limits my impact on others, which I suppose is better than overtly harming them, but hardly accomplishes anything that might benefit them.
There is a responsible, constructive place in the repertoire for anger as a force in the quest to make the world a better place. But we need to become better at feeling it, owning it, and mastering it. Then we will be better positioned to use it. Instead of it using us.
