184. To be fair I should say I do know what anger is like.
Edited on Wed May-26-10 10:22 PM by RandomThoughts
I am not saying I do not also know those feelings, and can feel them at times, also sadness. Being a person it would be silly to not say I do not know or experiance those things also.

But some people say anger is a grieving stage, but put into a social context that is to try and say something can not change and accept it, that is to get people to stop trying to make things better.

For instance, in my personal life, my lack of financial security and stability, and some aspects of my living environment do not make me happy, and I even get angry about them at times. And I am not better or worse then people, nor do I have some control of things outside my thoughts and actions. So it is not like I can change those things if they are caused by other peoples free will choices.

Heh, ace can be either high or low, that is funny.


But anyway, so I know those things will change, and anything stopping those situations from improving will turn or something else will happen. Not because I will do it, that would be a silly thought and is a delusion to make people think they effect more then their thoughts and actions. It will happen because it has to for that situation to be corrected. How? don't know, when? don't know, what method? don't know, but effect does not matter, what ever is blocking those things from occurring will be corrected. And if it was me blocking that, then I would learn, but I am fairly sure it is not me blocking those items that need correcting.

So although I get much comfort and happiness in spiritual things, that does not mean I give up on material happiness either, and there are things that can fix that situation.

So I understand feeling anger, but don't let it lead you to despair, which is part of apathy or giving up, since that does not do good, if you can find a way to make things better as you see them, or learn to see things better, then use that feeling for that purpose.

That might be another way to phrase it.

I did have opportunities to have many things if I would give up free will, I chose not to give up free will, as do many other people I see with many good stories and songs, in each case for me the ideas was to give up what you believe is best to get something material, like doing something you think is wrong, or being mean, or even following something that does not treat people with a equal return from how they treat people. Many people can get material things while staying with what they think is best, their are many cases of that, another reason I know things will work out for me. You can see many people finding a way without having to hurt people or do what they disagree with. Although all people make mistakes and do that at times, there are many people that do not agree to actually do that for some benefit, a subtle difference but a difference. It is not saying a person is perfect, just not agreeing to agree with what a person disagrees with, even if they still do it sometimes.

So it is not always easy, and their are many paths to be avoided, but I do know I will get there, even if the exact method or effect I do not think on or contemplate.


So I do understand that smiley also. But not fear.
