RE: Seeing my Anger as mine, Working to Transform it - Take 2!
Hey, An interesting reply - what do you mean by stupid people? Surely you are just viewing them as 'stupid' - do you mean poorly educated? Or just people who you find annoying?
I don't mean to say that anger is bad as it arises when boundaries are crossed and therefore is a good signal to us that something is going on that needs our attention. I think it is a useful energy that we can harness for our own benefit if we know how to use it well!
What doesn't seem to work well is just projecting it out onto others and blaming them for how we feel!
You are right, and when I said "stupid people" I meant the kind of people who are both poorly educated and annoying, think are the best and everyone around them are inferior, for no obvious reason.
I find it difficult to talk to a person like that, or even stay close to him or her, that's why I always prefer to just go away and not listen to anything they have to say.
But you're right, blaming others for how we feel and trying to blame them for our anger is no the way to solve our problems.
