2. It is important not to get angry
as anger itself effects all aspects of health in a negative way. Anger merely gives power to those whom you are angry. My husband says that in his wild hippie days, he would keep his cool just before a fight, and allow the anger of his opponant to defeat his opponant. Angry people aren't thinking; they are reacting. People who keep their cool also keep their wits about them.

So what do we do when we see all this stuff happening that is destroying our country? For one thing, we wait and observe. The whole Bush house of cards is starting to shake. Observe where the shaking is the worst-what can we do to encourage it to shake some more at that point? It could be something as symbolic as a rose to a brave reporter, or a letter of thanks to a Senator who has had the courage to stand up for Truth. Or it could be a sincere conversation over the water cooler with that co-worker who voted Bush because he thought he'd be safe. Armed with facts and keeping a cool head can win over the doubtful. Remember, every step we take consciously, with intent and without wild anger, will help bring Truth and Justice to the fore.
