“Everyone is caught up in a chain of events that long predates the present moment.
Our anger often stems from problems in our childhood, from the problems of our parents which stem from their own childhood, on and on. Our anger also has roots in the many interactions with others, the accumulated disappointments and heartaches that we have suffered.
An individual will often appear as the instigator of our anger but it is much more complicated, goes far beyond what that individual did to us.
If a person explodes with anger at you (and it seems out of proportion to what you did to them), you must remind yourself that it is not exclusively directed at you—do not be so vain.
The cause is much larger, goes way back in time, involves dozens of prior hurts…”
