I was doing my meditation practice yesterday, when a wave of anger swept through me. I was remembering an incident from my college days when I had anger directed at me for no real reason. I tried to practise loving kindness for a little while and the feeling left me.
It occurs to me that we clutch our anger to us, even to the smallest insult, do we think it somehow validates us? It’s important to realise that though someone may have hurled angry emotions at us in the past, indeed they will probably do so in the future, holding onto those things is harmful. In order to progress we need to let these things go, I’m finding meditation to be a fantastic tool for that.
