About our
people pages:
Because many visitors have asked for more information
about particular people whose words appear on the site,
we'll try to give you as much information as we can about
individuals. The Amazon links should give you access
to works by the author, though at times they'll display
other books if the author has written an essay or
introduction for those books. |

Anger is a powerful emotional
energy that constantly seeks an outlet. The tension that
surrounds anger is sometimes so volatile and unendurable that
catharsis appears to be the only relief. Accusations and abuse
directed at another become a means of relieving ourselves of the pain
of our own anger.
We insist on being heard, on making our point, yet in doing so we
create
an even deeper pain--the pain of separation and division. . . . It
takes
remarkable patience and compassion to pause before words of anger
are hurled at another. At times this pause is born of the wisdom
that recognizes that the only point we make in the impulsive
expression of anger is that we may be a person to fear and avoid.
