       I hear so many people saying that their anger is the impetus that keeps them fighting. But for me feeling angry has always made me feel defeated and turn inward. Not once in my long life has it ever been an impetus for action. Not once.I feel compelled to action when I can see a path to reaching the outcome I'm fighting for. My anger is counterproductive in that. If I want to keep fighting, I need to AVOID getting angry, or ignore/set aside my anger.If I ignore your angry posts, this is why.

       @IPEdmonton Interesting.  Anger eventually saved my life as I decided to fight back! Different way to deal with the vagaries of life.  🙂​

       @peterdeppisch exactly! People are different, and that’s okay. Just don’t assume that people who don’t approach this in the same way you do are less engaged or passionate, and we’ll all be fine.

       @wauz @IPEdmonton HUH!I am different, very different and have been told so many times - including family, teachers and bosses and friends.  And - it depends on how you channel the anger.  I used it to: "Do It My Way" and screw the criticism unless it was warranted. i.e. Maybe anger does not have to be blind, eh! 🙂​

       @wauz @IPEdmonton Me - I don't think I am different but others do and tell me so.  What else is there to say.

       @peterdeppischIf they think you're different - you are. Even, if you can't see it. Even, if they tell you about their idea of difference and you find it stupid. Very probable, it is stupid. But that IS the difference.@IPEdmonton
