Anger is how we desperately try to coerce or manipulate someone or ourselves into meeting our needs. Authentically, anger is our sadness over where another or ourselves or the world has failed us! Desperate to be recognized - RECOGNIZED in our innocence - and soothed by finally having those needs met with the peace and giving that should have been there to protect our hearts and bodies and minds in the first place. We are living in a time of detachment from source, from livelihood - compassion and understanding. Anger is the shell of grief, break your shell. Anger leads to Abuse, abuse is the misuse of power. Release your expectations of others or society, and hold yourself. When you do this, even if the world isn't ready to hug you back - you will be held, over and over again.
For every time I outsourced my anger as a solution, I manipulated the truth of my suffering. No more - no more - no more. We are all capable of recieving the gift of solace. it is why the yogis turned to nature in the first place and returned to spread the love of Gaia onto the people. Do not be fooled, all else is temporary relief.
The antonym of abuse is care. Care for yourself, and usurp the allure of anger by letting the truth underneath suffering care for you. Acceptance, faith, gratitude, and finally peace.
We are often angry, but we are not our anger. We are hurt, but we are not our hurt. We are all so much more than that.
We are a thing of beauty, waiting to be unearthed.
