A DIFFERENT VOICE

EQUATION

    MANAGING ANGER           

If fathers
can molest their daughters,
if mothers
can abuse their children,
if husbands can stab their wives
and women shoot their lovers,
is it so surprising
that strangers can
annihilate each other
with such
equanimity?

      Anger and violence are not strangers to us. We see them in our homes, in our offices and on our streets. We must begin to investigate, both personally and socially, the causes of our collective anger.
      Whether our anger is triggered by our past frustrations, our present inadequacy or our inability to make the good decisions that are necessary to control our lives personally and financially, we all must ultimately bear the responsibility for our actions. 
       Each of us has a duty to himself and to our world to become an individual of strength and maturity.
       If we begin to make these changes in our lives, we will, perhaps, begin to also achieve a more rational and
a more caring society.

Anger is a momentary madness. So control your passion or it will control you.
             Horace   


Violence shapes and obsesses our society, and if we do not stop being violent, we have no future.
            Edward Bond
