Anger and LoveI've experienced a lot of anger. For a long time all I could feel was anger. I was like the character in the Clash song "One Emotion." I put all of my other feelings, the ones which made me uncomfortable, into my anger. Like most people I had plenty of reasons to be angry. Both in my personal life and looking out at the state of the world. Since I've done some work and opened up my other feelings and really felt them instead of thinking them, I've learned some stuff about anger. I've learned that even when it is righteous, it rarely, in my case, helps accomplish anything constructive. Grief can be very constructive, as can joy and pain. Buy anger, for me, leads almost inevitably to trouble. The thing that seems to work for me most of the time is love. So I do my best to operate out of a place of love. Look- I get it wrong a lot. But I try pretty hard. I try to do the WORK of love because love is a verb. At least the important kind of love is a verb. The kind of love which can change the world. Tuesday, September 20th 2011 |
