Over the past two years, I've developed a lot of irritability and anger. Sometimes this gets so intense that it builds up into rage. This really disturbs me, because anger can be very destructive, and I really don't want to hurt anyone. So far I haven't hurt anyone (I get mad at God and the universe, rarely other people. And if I do get mad at others I certainly don't let them know) but the potential is there.

So I realized that I need to channel all that anger into changing the world. Social justice. Standing up for what is right, and refusing to compromise my beautiful idealist values.

I'm going to make my anger work for me. Charge it rent. Twist it into a force for good.

Ooh - that probably explains a lot - like why my anger wont move out without a court order and in the meantime is totally trashing the place!! Good one. Hope your "tenant" works out better than mine
Thanks for this!

It seems strange to be angry at God/universe - like getting cross with gravity or quadratic equations, still if you can make it work for you good luck.
