AA Thought for the Day
October 8, 2006
Anger
It is a spiritual axiom that every time we are disturbed,
no matter what the cause,
there is something wrong with us.
If somebody hurts us and we are sore,
we are in the wrong also.
But are there no exceptions to this rule?
What about "justifiable" anger?
If somebody cheats us, aren't we entitled to be mad?
Can't we be properly angry with self-righteous folk?
For us of AA these are dangerous exceptions.
We have found that justified anger ought to be left
to those better qualified to handle it.
Thought to Ponder....
Anger is but a mask for fear.
