Add that to a liberal dose of alcohol, and it makes a double, trouble, brew.>> haquihana: Righteous anger is like the power of the sun. It radiates/burns light which exposes darkness and evil, but which also gives and supports life. Self-righteous anger is the complete inversion of the power of the sun - ie. a black hole. It simply takes energy and light for the sake of taking energy and light. For there is no beginning or end of a black hole expect darkness and complete destruction for any sources of light and energy that play that game. The allied response to victory in WWII was benevolent - rebuilding Europe and the world through the Marshall Plan and related programs. Some may point fingers and say that there was a hidden agenda in all this, but there is no way anyone can erradicate hidden agendas. There will always be individuals with hidden agendas who try to avoid real risk by taking and those who embrace risk by trusting/disclosing/helping and serving others. Individuals, leaders and countries that take the "higher road" will always have the power and strength over others who take energy & light and abuse the time and trust others - NOT from "might" but from a deeper understanding/awarness which comes from risking and living more of a trusting/caring/serving loving life. If you believe in this "real" power that resides inside all of us, there is really nothing to fear in the world. And there really aren't ANY problems. Only opportunities. Peace. GO!!
