Make space for anger


Today too many people were angry and it would have been too easy to have gotten caught up in the emotional aftermath.

We all experience anger it is a natural reaction to, pain, frustration, injustice, grief, disappointment, confusion, disorientation, loss of power, shame – to fear.

Fear that we may lose our sense of self either internally or as we want to be projected into the world.

Anger attempts to, motivate either ourselves or others, it distracts us from our feelings of helplessness, from our fear.

Here is the problem presented today in the face of so much anger that we become fearful and enter the cycle of distraction and forceful persuasion - by being angry ourselves and continue to spin the situation further out of control. 

When presented with anger, it is important to create space, space to step away from the anger so that we can see the person and look for the fear that is fueling the anger, then we can engage with compassion and care.
