What does a man need to do to get his thoughts trough to others?
The level of consciousness is driving me wild at this place
Be angry if you like. You have the right to say " NO!" to that which you do not prefer.

Anger and rage happen. If you judge yourself then there will be trouble.
Anger and rage arise and subside in that which never passes.
Find that which never passes and you will never feel worse.

They both stem from frustration... Understanding that frustration can prevent either...
it happens, but its not needed or necessary...
And with practice one can live without either as well...

Anger and rage happen and if you believe you can eliminate them you will suffer because you will be forever judging yourself.
Be the witness to whatever arises and be free. Allow all to come and pass.
Why should we star and flag the OP?

It depends. If you act on rage/anger instantly, then yes, it COULD make things worse. If you understand your anger and know that it is acceptable to feel this way - to feel resistance to something that you see as "bad" or "do not prefer" but are willing to just get away from it rather than argue - then it makes things better and gets rid of stress.
This is what I'm relearning. I was taught by these "love and lighters" to only feel "love and peace". Now I realize that stripped away my personality to just conform. Now I am realizing anger again, but instead of acting quickly on it an getting into trouble (fight, argument, conflict), I'd much rather just stay away from what caused the anger and let it be.
If I hate the taste of spaghetti. It is ok that I feel disgust when I eat it, but instead of complaining to everyone especially those who like it. I can just choose not to eat it, stay away...
but there is nothing wrong with the feeling of "disgust" because it is building up my preference for the foods I like.. and there is no reason for me to "love all food". I like what I like and I don't like what I don't. We are all individuals.

How many of you are there? Really?
When the two become one the kingdom shall be revealed.
Suffering is part of life if you are divided.
I did not like it so sought the end of suffering.

There are two... the physical, and the spiritual... when the two become "one mind" the kingdom shall be revealed...
Guess where the kingdom is my friend... Right here, right now....
