Such a good reminder for me too.<br /><br />I am also reminded of AngryAsianBuddhist's thoughts about anger:<br />http://www.angryasianbuddhist.com/2010/05/why-im-angry.html<br /><br />and also some of the antidote to Anger that the Buddha teaches, is Mindfulness (which transforms Anger into Wisdom).shineniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08481855943586378949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998998547000813414.post-23217909253364313822012-10-13T19:43:47.792-07:002012-10-13T19:43:47.792-07:00I'm only referring to anger being a motivation...I'm only referring to anger being a motivation. That's a universal situation. It's the motivation behind Islamic parties. It's the motivation behind Socialist parties. It's the motive behind the conservative Jewish parties in Israel.

Seems to me this is a universal trait to all humans, regardless of culture. It's why we have gods that are wrathful, vengeful, because we project who we are onto our deities. Even compassionate deities are known to have a mean streak within them.Richard Harroldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02943119066949899198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998998547000813414.post-26293542650092972482012-10-10T21:11:38.847-07:002012-10-10T21:11:38.847-07:00Why is it, in America, anger is seen as moving for...Why is it, in America, anger is seen as moving force, to get something done? Almost a virtue? "Who rode into town made you king?" is often heard. A nation seemingly bursting with people in the news on a virtual psychotic break, both famous and regular Joes.<br />Hey. people this ain't pretty when you are red faced like a two year old ready to take a dump. We need to have a few wise people in public, and on the TV say, "'<i>I do not accept your gift of anger, please keep it</i>." Introducing some wisdom instead of volume as you are the first victim of your anger...as Buddha so wisely pointed out.Was Oncehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15787588883235992471noreply@blogger.com
