It reminded me of a wonderful quote I saw in a "New Age" magazine many years ago that went something like, "Beware of pissing me off. It's when I'm angry that I am most focused." :-)Laloofahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07256023593175821427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799660367320178164.post-4785134314243571282013-04-08T07:33:03.478-07:002013-04-08T07:33:03.478-07:00Thank you, Anonymous.

This is one of the problems I have with parts of the vegan movement, the inability to see the positive aspects anger can have.

There are so many things that could be an easy excuse not to be happy that you really have to work through those emotions (especially the anger) to be able to follow through. In a way it even comes down to being "happy" to work through anger. Directed correctly it DOES ignite a passion that can have a productive end.<br /><br />I'm frightened most today when I see so many people on drugs meant to "level off" their emotions... Granted, I'm not saying that some of the time pharmaceuticals are helpful - But many times they just stifle the ability to really FEEL. It's like we want a society that's never angry - And gosh... Like you pointed out --- Where would we be without well directed rage? <br /><br />I love my anger! It's cause is rational and justified. And my reaction is (generally) beneficial. A good, hot cup of it? Certainly yes! ;)Bea Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13981537551810309024noreply@blogger.com
