Anger

Why does there seem to be so much anger? You look on Facebook and people post perhaps a right-leaning post and the responses are angry. You post something positive, at least what you think is a positive post and responses are angry. Why all the anger. We have a president whose actions have stimulated the economy and instead of being thankful, you still see a lot of anger. Sometimes you see people that can still joke and send jokes but so many times you see the anger in replies. Do we ever look inside to see why we are angry.  Anger is like a warning light on the dashboard in your car. If a red or yellow light comes on it means something is wrong or needs to be checked. Can we look inside, lift up the hood and check the engine and see why we are so angry? Check that engine, check that heart and see why is there so much anger? What is below the surface that is causing so many to feel angry?  Anger is a warning light of our emotions, our feelings. Is it something we can fix? If the check engine light comes on the first thing I do is check the oil level. Ask the question, what am I really angry about? This brings another thought, the only person we can fix is ourselves. We can't fix the world but we can fix ourselves. There is something beyond the anger, the anger is a warning light that something needs to be fixed.  When the tire pressure gets low I have yellow warning light that comes on, I add air to the tires and it goes away.  I have a yellow fuel warning light, that tells me the gas tank is low, I add gas and the light goes out.  That is what anger is, a warning light. If you are feeling angry, try to understand why and fix it. look inside, under the hood, or check the gas tank, is there enough air in the tires. Anger is just like a warning light.  God bless, LVZ.
