Anger Management

I received an e-mail yesterday... one of those spam-types you usually get at the office. It talked about rage & how to handle it. Essentially rage is caused when we expect certain things & become enraged when others don't do as we expect. To overcome rage, says the e-mail, we must be humble (i.e. avoid feeling self-important); prioritise what's important (i.e. unruly drivers rank very low compared to self-sustenance) and don't fight reality (i.e. because reality wins all the time).

While I agree that rage isn't good and may cause us to do something that we'll regret later, good old anger may just push you to do the right thing. Adopt a cause because how humans are treating the world is causing destruction; because consumers are cheated when they don't know any better; because drunk drivers have to take responsibility for their actions. Angry? Then do something about it.

I usually welcome some anger- what's a blog without it?
