Anger

I have always believed that anger is an important emotion.  It gives rise to energy useful for change.  In most cases it is about a perceived unfairness that has been done to us or done to someone else. Making the unfair fair is sometimes worth the effort and sometimes there is nothing you can do, but that does not mean that feeling your anger is not important!

I am not an eloquent writer but I remembered something that a wise psychologist wrote;

"He could keep his sharply honed, well tamed anger in his pocket most of the time, but he must remember to take it out when he needs it. To allow another person to do him in is to be an accomplice to the other;s destructiveness in the name of one;s own prideful, pietistic "goodness'." --Sheldon B. Kopp, Ph.D.

But what of those of us who may have forgotten how to anger - either through having established deep mechanisms for suppressing it, or just don't even know how to "get there" anymore?

The quote from Dr. Kopp resonates deeply with me. I know I have subsumed my anger to a place where it no longer feels natural to me to "get angry".

How to get back?

Some time ago, I did need to buy a building for my business but I did not earn enough money and couldn't order something. Thank God my colleague proposed to try to get the business loans at trustworthy bank. Thence, I acted so and used to be happy with my small business loan.
