About This Quote

When you are angry, you feel as though you have a right to be angry, that the person who triggered the anger has done something wrong and that they should feel hurt. In reality, anger is a deception. It makes you feel better for a short period of time but it also drills you deeper in the hurt. You believe that there is some sort of logic behind your anger and that the person who triggered the anger has done something wrong.

In reality, this is not true. Anger is a form of self-injury.
