“It’s impossible to get angry when you have no anger in you.”

Another thing He told me: “It’s easier not to take out your anger on those around you when you’re no longer filled with it..” I tried for years in Alcoholics Anonymous to contain my anger – that went about as well as not drinking by my own willpower.

Anger is the result of something bad/unjust happening to us -and the inability or unwillingness to accept it. God told me many years ago that “acceptance is not approval”. If I have a flat tire and I refuse to accept that fact… That car will either sit there flat for a very long time or I will decide to do something about it. And that’s the same thing same with anger. Unfortunately, many people decide not to do anything about it -so they remain angry. If you do something to hurt me and I’m unable to run willing to confront you with it -I may just pass it on to the next person I see or meet. This happens all the time!

Sidenote: I may have mentioned this previously -imagine an army of men free from anger! Could there be a reason or useful purpose for anger in our society, in our world even though it is so much of an issue is an issue domestically speaking. Serrving 2 masters are we???
