[quote] Anger is meant to listened to. Anger is a voice, a shout, a plea, a demand. Anger is meant to be resepected. Why? Because anger is a _map_. Anger shows us what our boundaries are. Anger shows us where we want to go. It lets us see where we'be been and lets u s know when we haven't liked it. ... Sloth, apathy and despair is the enemy. Anger is not. Anger is our friend. Not a nice friend. Not a gentle friend. But a very, very loyal friend. It will always tell us when we have been betrayed. It will always tell us when we have betrayed ourselves. It will always tell us that it is time to act in our own best interests [from pp 61, 62... end quote] Boy howdy, did I need to read that again! Having just gone through a bout of extreme anger (at self) mixed with anguish, despair. But I love that part about how anger is a friend. not a gentle friend, but a loyal friend.
