suzzie, do you think that not being angry about anything is causing you any problems in your life? I ask because I felt some recognition of myself in what you wrote. My therapist told me that anger can be a cover for hurt. Because we don't want to experience the pain and hurt, we cover it with anger. I have uncovered a lot of hurt and pain, and I have wondered if I just kind of skipped over the anger part and went right to the hurt that underlies it? I don't know. I liked what Melba wrote and also WePow. A lot of good wisdom here...
