some quotes received last year:
Anger is an emotion that separates; it cuts us off from others and causes internal pain as well. It can mutate into resentment, a long-term destructive emotion. Cold anger can settle into our psyche and harden our hearts. Its toxic side-effects pervade our words and deeds and spread like poison into the lives of those around us. As a response to loss, it is not the best route to travel.
- Mike Binder, review of the movie The Upside of Anger (Kevin Costner & Joan Allen)
Anger can become one of our juiciest ingredients. If we have a tendency toward anger, we don't deny it or block it out. But we don't observe or analyze it either. We let our anger arise, so that we can feel anger fully. We sit with the anger. We become the anger. When we do that we can see what anger is all about. The anger will transform of itself — into determination, for example." We can't tell you the surprise that enables Terry to move beyond her rage, but the ending makes perfect sense and speaks volumes about the power of emotions to impact our lives and the lives of those closest to us.
- Bernard Glassman & Rick Fields
