I'm next going through a mad, bad or sad phase.
One thought that might help is
/People are idiots, albeit very smart ones (myself included). /
Its's a statement on what it is to be human and an acceptance of our
failures and inadequacies.
Why does that help deal with anger? Well to understand a person as
fallible can make it easier to understand their misdeeds and the anger
that comes with it. People fuck up as much a truth as people get it right.
The important thing is the acceptance of fallability as a way to cope
with the causes of anger.
It's especially true in my life for dealing with large institutions and
organisations. For some reason I expect them to be more capable than the
individual, and when they fail in their ideology it is an unacceptable
failure. This may be a projection of my old own internal self-criticism.
Perhaps.
Anger must still exist though. I know that that's what I'll be thinking
when I read this. Too much acceptance can lead to no progress and closed
thinking.
Fucking balance. I hate it !!!
