Anger

I just got done reading the morning announcements for SCDS and they contained a quote from an unknown author, "sometimes you have the right to be angry, blah blah blah.  Really?  what could possibly upset a high schooler so much that they get angry?  Anger is a mis-emotion brought on by a negaive reaction to a stimulus.  I guess I meant misdirected emotion.  Why don't we teach our kids (by the way the school is doing this anti-bullying program while although noble still gone about the wrong way) how to be positive influences on themselves and others?  I couldn't even imagine right now being angry at anything.  Anger is such a strong emotion.  "Fear leads to anger.  Anger leads to hate.  Hate leads to suffering."-Yoda.  The world needs more positive role models, not the ones that make waaaaaaaaaaayyyyy toooooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuuuch money (read any professional male athlete) or run our country, but folks who sincerely live positive examples.  My grandfathers are examples.  Pa (my dad's deceased father) has always been a shining example to me of a person who unconditionally believes in people around him.  He saw the good in most and was not afraid to say i love you.  Grandad (my mother's dad) still to this day sits back and watches the room.  Keeps to himself a lot except to chime in when a football player does something silly (like most touchdown celebrations), but I know for a fact he loves us more now than when we were younger.  His love grows everyday because he is a positive influence on others around him.

let's not even say anger.  you have the right to be angry, but when it comes down to it, shouldn't you place energy somewhere else?
