The fateful night

Last night I was pretty angry and sad. So angry, in fact, that my hands are shaking.
What are the things that make me angry? Not just irritated, but actually angry. My blog has been made available to people who know me so I won’t go into details. Suffice it to say: I’m angry. Although, writing this is starting to have a calming effect on me.

How much anger is acceptable? And what actions resulting from anger are acceptable? For example, I do not believe that my anger excuses me to start yelling and hurling abuse at people. But do I instead keep my feelings completely to myself? Am I supposed to be a doormat? I don’t think so.

But what if my anger is actually rooted in selfishness? Just because someone has acted in a way that does not match up to my values, does that make me right and the other person wrong?
The thing I am most wary of is that if we do not deal with anger effectively it can morph into resentment, and that is never good.
