You are correct. Carrying around anger will only hurt herself.

My pastor says harboring bitterness for another is like trying to kill someone else by swallowing poison.

Always thought that was pretty deep; Pastor Max is a pretty good pastor.

Some anger keeps you sharp and ready for any trouble that comes your way. WHile the victim couldn’t have anticipated the assault from above, a little paranoia and anger can save your life because it makes you aware of your environment.

Most crime victims don’t pay attention to their environment when they go for a walk, to work, running, etc. That is why they are easy targets.

Anger can be general, as well as aimed at a specific target, group, etc. You just need to know how to control it and harness it in an emergency.

I chased a drug dealer for 6 months, and with the help of a very good Fairfax County, Va. detective and a couple of kids, we nailed him and got him sent to jail.

Nobody threatens my family and gets away with it. The kid is still changing his underwear because he knows what I’ll do to him if he every shows up in our neighborhood again.

Besides, my K-9 needs a new toy to play with.
