Angry? Who, Me?

“Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers, for each rage leaves him less than he had been before – it takes something from him.” – Louis L’Amour

On Day 14, Beattie writes about accepting anger. She says, “Anger is a part of life. We need not dwell in it or seek it out, but we can’t afford to ignore it.”

I think I have the opposite problem.  I’m trying to remember if, at an earlier age, I didn’t get angry. The truth is, I cannot. I know I had my moments of freaking out, but I don’t remember consciously suppressing anger. I don’t remember wanting to be lollipops and sunshine all the time.

I have been told by a number of people, both professional and non-degreed, that 1) I feel things more deeply than most, and 2) I have unreasonable expectations. I hate that phrase: “unreasonable.”

I think that may have something to do with my anger. Somewhere along the way I just became disappointed. Somewhere along the way it created anger. And somewhere along my path, it might destroy me.

So, do I truly accept anger? No – it’s just my gut reaction. If I become comfortable with accepting anger, instead of just wishing I could calm the fuck down, perhaps that would be the key to letting go of the anger itself.

Feel it. And let it go.

Maybe I’ll get to a point where I can “feel” such an emotion in a millisecond, so that it doesn’t overtake my entire being.

It’s tiring. and I’m tired of it. So much ENERGY is wasted.

    Hi there! I realize this is sort of off-topic
    but I needed to ask. Does building a well-established website like yours take a lot of work?
    I am completely new to blogging but I do write in my journal everyday.
    I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my experience and views online.
    Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips
    for new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!

    What i don’t realize is in truth how you’re no longer actually a lot more well-favored
    than you might be right now. You’re so intelligent.

    You realize therefore significantly with regards to this topic,
    made me individually believe it from numerous varied angles.
    Its like women and men don’t seem to be interested unless it is something to accomplish with Girl gaga!
