13. Agreed, which is why I posted the Ghandi quote. There is such a thing as justified anger.
How can anyone see injustice and not experience anger? Yes, anger is problematic, i.e. look at the anger of some of the tea baggers, unexamined anger rooted in hatred. But, you know, there should be anger over the usurping of our government by forces who absolutelty do not have the best interests of our country/citizens in mind.
That said, it is important to be a balanced human being. Anger can cause one to become irrational, but it doesn't have to, as Ghandi so adroitly points out.
