I am queer and Black. I suffer from two chronic illnesses and had chronic pain for over 15 years. Doctors treat me as worthless and lazy when I'm anything but. I grew up with brutal abuse, alcoholism, and mental illness in my family. I've been bullied, beaten, betrayed and mistreated since age 9. Am I angry about the state of the world? Anger is a total waste of time and energy and only lessens you. The world now is just Hell and I was born into that and survived it so ...
“The best revenge is not to be like your enemy.”
“Anger and the sorrow it produces are far more harmful than the things which make us angry.”
“There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.”
“Never depend on the admiration of others. Personal merit cannot be derived from an external source.”
"Any person capable of angering you becomes your master."
@ExPatExp88 Don't let it master you ... or anyone (unless it's consensual of course 😜) you can rise higher than whatever it is. Instead of allowing anger to corrupt you ... use it as fuel to soar above it all ❤️ Recycle it and give it back as kindness to others ... as well as to yourself.
