an·ger (ăng'gər) n. A strong feeling of displeasure or hostility. When I experience anger: <ol> <li>Boundary's get drawn real fast</li> </ol> <li>Uh-uh! That is not okay!</li> <li>I do not like how this feels!</li> <li>I do not like what this person is doing!</li> <li>I do not like what I am doing!</li> <ol> <li>I have a fire inside of me to DO SOMETHING</li> </ol> <li>I'm going to give them a peice of my mind!</li> <li>I will not be ignored!</li> <li>I have something to say!</li> <ol> <li>I am breaking with tradition.</li> </ol> <li>Good girls do not call attention to themselves...</li> I want to rescue anger from the bin of "inappropriate emotions" and put it along side compassion as emotions of positive change. Anger is a jumping off point for most people. I want to honor my anger and hope it brings me clarity and fuel to act. Anger is often the first step I take on my path to personal peace surrounding issues of social injustice. I am currently experiencing what I've heard called "rage fatigue" where the synapses in my brain are all fired out. So currently I look to my disgust as nice kindling for my passions...
