It can be frightening to experience and express anger. Even more frightening is the hurt that caused the anger in the first place. When you get hurt, you get angry. You believe that the anger is directed outward, toward the person who hurt you. The truth is, anger as a response to hurt is always directed inward. You are angry that you loved too much, cared too much. Because it is hard to admit these things to yourself, about yourself, you point the finger out there, at them! The challenge is to recognize that it is much easier to be angry than to say to someone, "You hurt me." When you are angry, you are in control. Control is what you believe you must have to avoid being hurt. #ForgiveNForget #HappyDec16
