It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusing to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. Anger is meant to be listened to. Anger is a voice, a shout, a plea, a demand.
Anger is meant to be respected.
Because anger is a map. Anger shows us what our boundaries are. It tells us that old life is dying. It tells us we are being reborn, and birthing hurts. The hurt makes us angry.
