This morning I parted from my wife in anger and it has colored my day. To be fair, my anger could easily be justified and my words were not outrageous or particularly cutting. Nonetheless I have been left heir to my own decision to allow anger to overtake me and ruin my peace of mind. May I gain in wisdom and see, once and for all, that no good will come to me as a result of surrendering to anger, regardless of how right or just it may be.

Anger is so intoxicating. It takes great strength to pull oneself back from the abyss–it is so easy to just fall right in and and be swallowed up. I applaud you for knowing that there is another way, and for having the will and the courage to work toward that other way.
