Why, Hello Mr. Anger.

Posted by Aundra

“Let’s not get personal”——-Unless what you say relates to me as a person it is just words without life. But let’s just “get personal” about each other, let’s get personal about ourselves.

Whether written or spoken, the more-deeply personal and the more uniquely applicable people’s thoughts are to their individual lives, the more I find that what they say has meaning for me. There is usually more meat for me in a writer’s journal.

Many people think they are acting the way they feel when they tell someone off. Someone is critical of me and I answer by calling him a S.O.B. My feeling is not that he is a S.O.B.  My feeling is that he has hurt me: “You have hurt my feelings and now I want to hurt yours.”

Launching a verbal attack covers my feelings of being hurt with an appearance of strength.  I get angry when I think someone has changed me in away that I am helpless to do anything about.

*screams*

Is there a healthy anger?
