A burst of temper could spoil a day,
and a well-nursed grudge
could make us miserably ineffective.
Nor were we ever skillful in separating
justified from unjustified anger.
As we saw it, our wrath was always justified.
Anger, that occasional luxury of more balanced people,
could keep us on an emotional jag indefinitely.
These emotional "dry benders" often led straight to the bottle.
Other kinds of disturbances
--jealousy, envy, self-pity, or hurt pride--
did the same thing.

Thought to Ponder....

Anger is the hot wind
that extinguishes the light of reason.
