Identify Lloyd Braun and Win a Prize

There are a lot of references in our literature about anger.

"If we were to live, we had to be free from anger.  The grouch and the brainstorm were not for us.  They may be the dubious luxury of normal men . . . . "

Believe it or not, that's the only time the word "anger" is listed in our first 164 pages.  Ya learn something every day.  I was under the impression that warnings against excess anger were sprinkled liberally through this most sacred text.  Goldurn.

Anyway, here in easy-peasey land I wish folks would get bend out of shape from time to time.  I don't mean screaming obscenities at someone in a threatening manner but more along the lines of "that isn't right and I'm not happy about it."  I've never been thrilled at the interpretation of some people that anger is a bad, terrible thing.  Justified anger is bad news.  Self-righteous anger unleased at undeserving victims is no good, but experiencing a normal human emotion seems pretty . . . . well . . . . normal to me.

"Serenity Now - Insanity Later."  Lloyd Braun
