Illusion of Anger

A while ago I was feeling stressed. I was angering easily. One morning I awoke feeling agitated and everything seemed to make me more agitated and angry. The day seemed to be getting in my way, things seemed to be harder this day and I was late for work. All through this I was more and more frustrated and angry. As I was just about to go to work, my daughter delayed me more as she was now late for school and I had to now drive her. This was making me more late for work. As I drove her I was fuming and was upset with her for making me more late. I dropped her off at the school and instead of just rushing to work, I paused to watch her walk into the school. I still felt angry but didn't want to be that way. I watched her and thought I love her so much why do I want to be angry anymore. Then I could see my anger, it was like a huge monster. Many, many, times larger than me, so big and so powerful. Then I felt my love for my daughter. It was like a small bright light. I could see myself standing before this huge anger monster and with this small bright light of love. In the face of my love for my daughter, the anger monster changed from a solid powerful entity to translucent and smoke like and then just dissipated. I was shocked and felt the anger within me leave, totally.

You see I learned that day that the power and dominance of anger is just an illusion in the face of Love.

Thank You
