Anger Is A Thief

Anger needs energy just like any negative feeling. It has helped me to realize that any time I give myself over to anger, I feed it. It does not need a well-thought-out reason to go into action. Why? Because it seems like the right way to feel at the time. It is always good to remember that anger is a learned emotion, and life is all about unlearning the bad side of feelings so that the good waiting in the wings can take their place. It is also good to remember that anger knows what it needs to protect its existence.

The problem is that anger blocks from us our intelligence. It steals from us the time and energy we have to make intelligent and meaningful choices. People carry anger in their emotional nature, and this anger looks for reasons to express itself. Consequently, circumstances can be an excuse for anger to be fed.

Anger is more of a habit, which is why it does not need well-thought-out reasons to ignite it. Anger is a borrowed emotional habit that is fed every time we give ourselves over to it. This idea is one that few, if any, are willing to consider. In other words, anger works with negative feelings to avoid the one thing we came to this earth to do—learn from our mistakes. We came here to learn how to utilize our God-given wisdom to choose how we are going to feel instead of being a mindless robot, subject to the forces of habit.  

This learned emotion called anger steals from us the one thing that should have the most value—the awareness necessary to see the power we have to create our lives and not be its victims.
