OK

Let's just examine rage.

Rage is a combination of anger and fear. RAGE is not an emotion, it is a directed behaviour, either outwards or inwards.

We feel it as injustice.

Rage is useful, there is nothing wrong with rage. It is a natural result of a wrong.

So, let's think what we can do with it. Imagine rage when dealing with the bad in this world, slavery, sexual abuse of innocents, torture, murder, political terrorism. Rage is an appropriate response if it creates directed action.

The issue is not the rage, it is what to do with it.

It is a part of healing, a part of grief, an intense part. It serves no purpose if you fight it. Instead try a 180 use this to propel you forwards.

My challenge is how are you going to become an activist with rage?

How can you use this as rocket fuel, to get you to where you want to be? It will burn you up if you contain it, but in a rocket it will move you. Use it for you, to move you forwards, to motivate, instead of saving it as a hand grenade against WH, get going. When the going gets tough, the tough get going.
