This week I just want to share a TED article I read last week.
I don’t think I’m very good at dealing with angry people, but I’ve long thought that there are underlying reasons for anger that are not explicitly expressed and/or consciously known by the angry person. This article confirms this:
Anger is like the bodyguard of emotions … We use anger to push away our hurt and our sadness and our vulnerability
– Susan Adler, pyschotherapist
Read the original article by Daniella Balarezo here:

(It has some other interesting points too.)
And yes, I get angry sometimes too, but I think it’s something that people can work at controlling and managing in a way that is not hurtful.

Great article. I like the idea of intentionally taking the high road, knowing that nothing good can come from engaging with an angry person. Learned this much later in life than I wish I had.
Better late than never, I guess!
