Just Because Anger is Righteous Doesn't Make it Wise or Sound
Once again today my friend Tony Seton nails it on an increasingly important issue: righteous anger. On his SetonNoteS audio blog today he comments on the notion that one who has an indisputable right to be angry about something still ends up angry, still ends up increasing the level and amount of anger on the planet, and ultimately accomplishes nothing that couldn't have been accomplished with greater calm.
Thanks, Tony, for the needed reminder on a day when I'm reading about the Gulf Oil Disaster, the Israeli Attack on humanitarian aid ships in international waters, how an umpire blew a perfect game with a perfectly awful call and dozens of other irritations minor and (seemingly) major. I stop. I take a breath. I calm my mind. I look for something with which to hit someone. No, no. There I go again!
