Somewhat different than talking about anger, though yes, the principles are still the same, and again, you should not confuse what I say next with blame or fault, because another can be at fault for something we deem socially unacceptable, but again, you come back to the philosophical argument of fairness based on who's perception.If #5 is true, then why do adults in verbally, emotionally, and physically abusive relationships sometimes end up with ptsd, a very real brain disorder? Or concentration camp victims?
For those lives who are ruled by anger, who find themselves anger prone, then this does apply to you.

No, you most likely don't. Because I did. I have just recently gotten to the point where I feel I can safely express anger. Prior to that point I was like a leaf blowing in the wind.... ducking and dodging the anger and frustration of others' which, many times, translated into aggressive and or violent behaviours.It seems like it would be possible to go too far down this road and get to the point where "everything is ok". I'm not sure I want to live in that world.
Yes, the motivating and compelling type of anger is what I am learning to understand to call, reflect upon, and allow myself to feel. Not anger that I just use as a release for my own frustration. Also, recognizing that others are expressing anger towards me. For whatever trauma-esq type reason, I needed to convert the thought of other's anger into .... idk, something else.There's a huge difference between righteous anger that motivates and compels people to make a positive change for themselves or others and the anger that rises due to road rage or stubbing your toe.
Absolutely agree. This is necessary, imo, for survival. I like the word objectionable as well. It is a good way of re-framing what could be considered as rage-aholic type behaviour versus anger that helps us get out of an 'objectionable' situation. (Have I mentioned how much I love that word Scout?)It might be a pretty useful response too, if I object to being attacked.
I really like the idea of visualizing my anger over certain situations as the wind and blowing through me. It is brilliant. It allows me to recognize that if I come across a situation that brings up anger, that I do not have to let those feelings fester inside of me. I don't know that I was actually ever shown what to do with anger when I was younger, so I just 'smiled for the camera', you know?I was taught to think of anger as a force, like the wind, to let it blow through me, without damaging myself or another, to discover the emotions and needs below my anger.
