To Live Without Anger

There are rare humans whose nervous system never feels what you and I would call anger. And, very rare. It’s also I’d say on the neurodiversity scale quite outside the median.

So… I wonder though what “anger” refers to here is the expression of anger – the violence, the threat, the defensiveness – that appears so often externally when people are angry.

My own intention is to recognize when anger arises and see where it leads, without getting stuck “staying angry” because, well, I don’t know what else to do with those energies!

Anger into Oomph is what I hope to do, wherever it is possible, whenever the threat anger alerts me to is not life-or-death (and sometimes even if it were).
