Responsibility in Anger

Letting go of anger is one of the most difficult aspects of "knowing myself" that I face. There's a sort of seduction in it -- the promise that your rage can level those obstacles that stand in your way. So today, when faced with...let me take a moment for a deep breath and some centering... a person who I have difficulty with, it took a tremendous effort to scale back and away from wishing grievous harm upon him.

In many ways I feel that as a witch I have a greater responsibility to control my feelings. That sense of responsibility feels unfair sometimes, particularly when watching someone else have a cathartic meltdown.

That said, giving in to anger is to allow another to manipulate us. And that, my dear, will never do.
