We’re rarely angry for the reasons we think. Emotions created by early life experiences reside just below the surface of our conscious awareness. Occasionally something reminds us of a situation that originally caused that anger and a new flare up arises. But because we’re seeing through a filter that’s projecting an emotional memory, we may not be reading the situation accurately. It’s healthy to feel the anger, but usually unwise to act from it. Once we’ve really felt it, we can ask ourselves if we know for sure that our take on it is real. Fortunately…
It rarely is.
