I have found in my life's experience that when I am angry, #1. it is always a bi-product of some deeper emotion, usually sadness, hurt feelings, or some other feeling in which touches our egos, in such a way that it almost hurts to acknowledge them. I have also found that the things that really inflame me/enrage me, always have history, if I just take the time to reflect, the outcome is so much more self-empowering. The reason that these small moments can be so powerful for me, is because I have chosen the path of least resistence, and self-knowledge, as well as acceptance of the smashing of my ego, it can be a hard pill to swallow, but it is the only path for me, I don't know may be it comes from having a self-perpetuated hard life, and getting older, THANK GODDESS for getting OLDER !
