Anger

Today, in the forum for a community we share, my friend Erik wrote the following:

Anger doesn't fix anything, action does. All anger does is reinforce the negative and prevent you from moving ahead. It also has the unfortunate side effect of driving people and opportunities away from you.

... I've noticed that anger can become a "security blanket" for people that feel short changed. All I have to say is that if you want to continue to get short changed in life just continue being angry... You'll get to keep your security blanket, but that's about all you'll have one day...

Erik wasn't writing to me or for me directly, but it certainly applies to my life and certain people in my life at the moment ...
