“It is an act of courage to acknowledge our own uncertainty and sit with it for a while. Too often, anger propels us to take positions that we have not thought through carefully enough or that we are not really ready to take. [...] Slow down! Our anger can be a powerful vehicle for personal growth and change [even] if it does nothing more than help us recognize that we are not yet clear about something and that it is our job to keep struggling with it.”
"Anger is inevitable when our lives consist of giving in and going along; when we assume responsibility for other people’s feelings and reactions; when we relinquish our primary responsibility to proceed with our own growth and ensure the quality of our own lives; when we behave as if having a relationship is more important than having a self."
