People have a difficult time with anger. Some people are afraid of their anger. Others feel that is has no place in their lives. On its own merit anger serves a useful function. It helps us define our boundaries, or can prevent others from taking advantage of us. Anger can motivate us to take needed action in our lives and get things accomplished for our self growth. On the other hand anger becomes destructive when we hold it against other people. We think that if we are angry with someone that it has some kind of power over them, that they will somehow be sorry that they "wronged us." Take a moment to reflect on this. Does the person you are angry with know or even care how angry you are with them? Even if that individual knows that you are angry wit;h them, does it really have any effect on their life? If you believe that your anger is having an effect on the other person's life, can you prove it?

 When you look at the world through your eyes, can you see everything that exits? When you listen with your ears, can you hear everything around you? When you touch something, can you feel everything that is able to be sensed about the object you are touching? Think for a moment and realize that right now there are frequencies of the light spectrum that your eyes can not see. Sounds are being emitted that your ears cannot hear, you cannot feel the trillions of dust particles slamming into your body at a very high velocity. You cannot feel the multitudes of particles that you are inhaling right now as you breathe. How much of the infinite universe is beyond our ability to even begin to perceive? And yet our brain will tell us that it knows what it knows. It does know what it knows, but only based on the limited amount of information that it has. Be mindful of the messages that it sends. Realize that it may be more fiction than truth.
