Anger doesn’t always deserve to be placed in the category of being a negative. There are many scenarios where being angry actually provides a much needed impetus towards healthy change. But nothing good (as far as I can think of) ever came out of living from a place of anger. So it really comes down to what we end up making of it. Now, sometimes we say, “Arrgh, you make me so angry” or “You love to push my buttons!” But as much as we don’t like to admit it, we allow the other to make us so angry and if our buttons are getting pushed, we have to figure out how to move out of the way so the pushing can’t touch us ;) Alas, it’s not always so easy. But it’s worth remembering that we’re choosing to respond in this manner and not putting it all on someone else’s doorstep. Perhaps once we take responsibility for our way of reacting, perhaps once we take ownership and make peace with the fact that we’ve chosen to respond in this manner, perhaps then we can open up a big enough window of conscious desire to choose another response.
