What does it mean for "foolishness to lie in the bosom of the angry?" Or, "to always turn the other cheek?" Does it mean that anger is a sin? Is anger forbidden? Can one live without being or getting angry? What kind of a life will that be? Desirable, adorable, pleasant, or lifeless and boring?
Anger is one of the emotions of life and ONLY dead things do not get angry. Need I type that in bolds? Even God gets angry. If you see someone that never gets angry, run for your life. That is a volcano in the making. Such can kill when they eventually get angry, with blinking an eyelid. That which they have saved over time sudden erupts uncontrollably without limits.
Seen a marriage or relationship where they never disagree, that is one headed for the wall. It's going to crash one day very soon. Someone is stomaching something that is going to be vomitted sooner or later. A research done showed marriage with disagreements every now and then go the distance much more than those which seems to be made in heaven.
Let us for the sake of discussion imagine two angels who are married to one another. Where is the fun in that? That is why elsewhilst good girl chase after supposed bad boys, and supposed good boys chase after the else whilst bad girls. Teh nice ones always lose out. Samson needs a Delilah, we just wish our Delilah's will also have a Mary's heart. And, the vice versa is also true.
Yes, anger might lie in the bosom of the angry person, taht is not the end of the story. Yes, it lies there, but does not have to control the angry person. The angry person still is obliged to control the anger. That is wisdom. You answer the anger with self control and maturity. The same place anger comes is also where "eros" comes. They are both flames that make us human.
There is no romantic relationship without the flame of "eros." He that has not learned to control the flame of anger cannot control the flame of "eros." Teh flames are a part of nature for us to use, enjoy, and mature there by and in. We are here not to avoid life, but to allow ourselves be touched by it, but never losing ourselves in any. For we are still responsible at the end of the day.
The Saint.
