Reflection:
Anybody can become angry — that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way — that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.
~ Aristotle, 384-322, Greek Philosopher
Anger is a surgical weapon, designed to destroy ugliness and restore beauty. In the hands of one who is trained in love and who can envision beauty, the knife of righteous anger is a weapon for restoration. … Righteous anger warns, invites change, and wounds. True anger is paradoxical in that it has the strength to inflict pain, but it burns with the desire for reconciliation. It is bold, but it is also broken.
~ Dan B. Allender & Tremper Longman III
Anger is not only inevitable, it is necessary. Its absence means indifference, the most disastrous of all human failings.
~ Arthur Ponsonby, 1871-1946, British Politician, writer, social activist
