Anger always disguises itself as fear. But be careful, it is a huge trap. When someone doesn’t get their way, the fear of losing control can trap them into an insidious rage, but that level of outburst will never help. That’s because anger is not an effective tool. It is not a leveraging agent or an advantage. It’s a trap, a disadvantage. That’s because life does not conform. Anger foolishly tries to get everyone and everything to conform. It might work temporarily, but at what cost? It makes you look like a monster. Try creativity. Try cooperation. Try letting go. Try love. Try shutting your mouth. Try using your higher intelligence. Intelligence thinks on a much higher plane than anger does. Intelligence recognizes fear, and in its face, becomes supple, resilient, creative, invisible, and quiet. Which do you want to be? Do you want to be a monster or a highly intelligent entity?
Anger is a primitive mechanism, deployed out of fear to get life to do what it wants. People only think it “works.” But anger masquerades as the fire of fear, making you look like a first-class, top rate witch on a broom. The so-called result of anger is a futile effort to get others to do what it wants; to get the world to orbit around a puny, little “me” that feels entitled, deserving, and better than.
Life will not conform and never has. History has shown us that anger will not hold others in its orbit for very long, and the collateral damage is severe. Nero, Hitler, Stalin, Trump, Putin, and anybody who pounds a fist, stomps a foot, clenches teeth or screams in rage will never get their way. Life is deaf to anger, it will only respond to love. The world needs this important realization.
