ANGER

I've been standing in a question --

"Why do I start boiling at the public behaviour and verbal vomiting of politicians?"

An answer popped last night .........

Anger is my dialogue with a looming pall of Despair.


When threatened, I get angry ... I knew that.
But it was a blinding flash of the bloody obvious to discover what it is that I feel threatened by
And what lay at the base of my depression and anxiety.

Why would I feel threatened by a feeling?
Because "I" thinks "I can't handle this."

A feeling does not need to be handled;
It can be experienced.
Safely.
We are, after all, bigger than the feelings we generate --
The fruit cannot swallow the tree.
