Anger Is The Power to Say No

Even enlightened beings get angry, they are not just light and love. Even though internally they are probably at peace, they still get angry at suffering and injustice. Anger is an energy if used wisely can transform life situations including yourself. As we all know anger turned inwards ends up being depression.

Anger is only destructive when the angry person is unaware of his emotion and impulsively projects it onto another, himself or the world. Then it becomes aggression and violence and we all have proof of it everyday in the media.

But if you can become aware of your angry feelings and really experience them, sit with them without doing anything, no matter how uncomfortable they can be, they will become transformed into an inner power, cooled but very strong that will solve your situation without you practically having to do anything about or/and you will receive an intuitive injunction about what needs to be done with the best possible result.

There is wisdom in anger. When anger is not driven by ego it brings good to the world, helps us be honest, courageous, compassionate and engaged. It helps us to fight for what we believe in and against injustice.

Anger is the power to say no.
