As an aside, there is an op/ed in the NYTimes today on anger and its relation to heart problems. A couple of pages of comments by readers were very interesting, also. Remember the Seven Deadly Sins in your old prayerbook or catechism? Being ticked off is one thing-wrath and vengenge, another. Is evil programmed or learned? What about virtue? Wasn't the spleen/bile the source of anger in the Middle Ages- the humors. No mention was made of ulcers in what I read- why not? But someone did mention the connection or disconnection between fear and anger. Is courage a display of righteous anger? How are warriors trained to kill? How to accept collateral damage in a war zone- a poor court decision- an insult. Not speaking out against evil was also considered a sin. Why is the word evil and not adim? :-) //As another aside- my neighbor got a hedge trimmer for father's day and will save me some dough by trimming the row of evergreens on Monday along my drive.On the downside, that plumbing repair/ raw earth is not breeding grass and weeds as I had hoped and is being compromised by rain so I left a message for M to fix it=$$$. I am ticking/ticked offf.lol
