Anger is a Lie

I used to think that anger was a necessary evil, an unavoidable emotion. I had no choice but to respond to injustice, insult or injury with anger. In my mind, it was an emotion as valid as love, joy, fear or pain. I remember reading an article many years ago that said anger wasn’t a real emotion, but rather a way of masking genuine feelings. Interesting. I put that in my back pocket and forgot it in the wash.
