The Many Masks of Anger

February 20 - As we are restored to health and become increasingly able to live comfortably in the real word without gambling, we begin to see many things in a new light.  Many of us have come to realize, for example, that anger, comes disguised in many shapes and colors:  intolerance, sarcasm, distrust, anxiety, envy, cynicism, discontent, self-pity, malice, suspicion, jealousy.  As more insights are granted to us, we begin to see how often anger is at the root of many of our restless, uncomfortable feelings.  Such insights help us understand our anger and seek new ways to deal with it.

Do I let my feelings get the best of me?

Today I Pray - May I recognize that my anger, like a dancer at a masquerade, displays many forms and many faces.  May I strip off its several masks and know it for what it is.

Today I Will Remember - Anger wears a thousand masks.
