What makes me SO angry? I get angry because of the current state of humanity! I get angry
because MOST people JUST accept the fact that some people suffer WAY more than others
& some people suffer more than they can handle & some people become bitter & twisted
because of their suffering ...
Not 2 mention those who lash out in violence because they are frustrated by their
suffering!
When in the grips of anger, I feel it is sheer perversion 4 anyone 2 merely accept such
a state of affairs!
To put it another way, I get VERY angry at living in a bullshit society where hardly
anyone is TRULY happy!
This anger is VERY frustrating because there aint a LOT I can do about other people!
So I came up with the intriguing idea that they may be merely robots and I can hardly
get mad at robots 4 doin what they are programmed 2 do!
"Maybe you are SUCH sophisticated robots that you don't even realise you ARE robots!"
Spontaneous email 2 Mum once I snap OUT of the dark mood ... saved as psycho.txt ...
well worth a read ... then this advice:
A Native American elder once described his own inner struggles in this manner: "Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time." When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, "The one I feed the most."
PLUS read way2live during my iPad session - heaps of happiness & meditation links in Feb journal from that session ... but I am WELL & truly back from the dark side ... reading and meditating and cultivating kind & compassionate thoughts ... it ALWAYS amazes me how quickly I bounce back after fearing the dark & violent thoughts will be with me forever ...

click - reallly can make a difference - plus the 1001 Buddhist quotes - suffering - impermanence - compassion etc etc ...
Meditation is the key -
