Just as practical observation... Holding anger against another rarely damages them. They are rarely even aware of it. Anger serves no purpose. It is purely an emotion of manipulation because it does nothing to the subject of the anger unless they are made aware of it...and then it's very chancy that they will react in the desired manner. [And won't you be even more angry if they don't?] Anything that can be done, can be done even more effectively without anger. Guess who the main victim of anger is. ...and if nothing can be done, anger is a double waste of energy. [Rather like paying a bank for the use of their money...you get to pay for your house three times over] Bottom line..it is you that can be manipulated with your own anger. Some people actually enjoy jerking the chain you dangle in front of them so they can feel powerful...but the power is yours, given up. ken
