anneb10 discovered 10 days ago- "Anger is unpleasant but seductive. In this interview with Bill Moyer, Pema Chodron says that anger has a hook. There's something delicious about finding fault with something,¯ she said. Especially when our egos are involved (which is nearly always the case), we may protect our anger. We justify it and even feed it. Buddhism teaches that anger is never justified, however. Our practice is to cultivate metta, a loving kindness toward all beings that is free of selfish attachment. All beings¯ includes the guy who just cut you off at the exit ramp, the co-worker who takes credit for your ideas, and even someone close and trusted who betrays you. For this reason, when we become angry we must take great care not to act on our anger to hurt others. We must also take care not to hang on to our anger and give it a place to live and grow."

- "....ego, fear and anger are insubstantial and ephemeral, not 'real'. They're ghosts, in a sense. Allowing anger to control our actions amounts to being bossed around by ghosts......to cultivate metta, a loving kindness toward all beings that is free of selfish attachment.
