The Joy Of Anger

Why do we get angry?
We see that something or someone isn’t right.

In the first moment of seeing and before judgement sets in, the mind is stimulated and brightens. It is then when we decide whether we personally don’t like that thing or person, or we recognise that something is just amiss.

Going back a step to first seeing
is mirror-like wisdom,
aware without re-enacting our memory script.

There are injustices in the world, and there are distractions. To react to injustices or distractions means that we can become as unjust, causing a chain reaction that compounds a situation.

Feeling anger doesn’t mean we are wrong; we see something isn’t right, but to act out of anger will produce more of the same. The injustice in the world distracts the mind. Remember that as long as there are unenlightened beings, there will be injustice in the guise of ‘truth’.

When we see injustice, we look for the cause (which is often delay), and then the complete picture is revealed, and we are no longer easily aroused and easily goaded, reacting out of ignorance and hatred.

Pure awareness is good.
What we do then is either a process of evolution or devolution
– enlightenment or endarkenment.

The more we realise that anger is mirror-like wisdom,
the more the joy of anger, seeing without judgments.
