That time my ANGER killed me (NDE)

But I hate him so much because he's so full of hate, and I hate hate and people who hate!

Why are you mad? - Oh, I'dunno, no reason.

Can anger grow so bad that it eats us alive? But anger is "natural," and it's not good to hold it in. Science has found that people who express their anger, say by beating a pillow, significantly worsen. Acting out what is a transient emotion into a practice trigger-and-response.

Every time I hear that man's name, I get so triggered and p*ssed off, I'm just like Whoopi Goldberg cussing like I did when I was best friends with Mr. Trump, who often hired to me to cuss with my filthy mouth during my act.

Shut the h*ll up, Kids, before I beat you! - Yeah, you heard Mom, shut the h*ll up! - No, you!

The way to "manage" anger is to let it all hang out, behave irrationally, right? What could be healthier? When anger arises, watch it mindfully (non-reactively). If that is impossible, apply the immediately-effective antidote of metta (loving-kindness).

What are the Three Poisons the Buddha warned against? Craving, HATRED, and delusion.

If feeling cold indifference towards others and their plight, practice karuna (compassion).

If not happy enough and wishing to instantly be happy, engage in mudita (joy in others' joy), the opposite of schadenfreude.

(What's that? It's delight in the misfortune of others, like poor Mr. Trump, who has to wear an adult diaper and fouls himself daily, which is why his baggy pants are so ill-fitting and wrinkled and his posture so extraordinarily bad, pushing his butt out and behind him. Just ask firsthand witness Noel Casler.)

What's wrong with anger if I don't hurt anyone?

One of the very dysfunctional things about anger is that, without realizing it, we often use it as the basis of our bad habits: I have to drink, I have to party, I have to get my grind on...or I'll explode. First, make things internally intolerable with messy emotions. Then "solve" the distress with a dysfunctional coping method.

Angry activist dies from heart attack and discovers we are all one (NDE)

Anger Management my @$$!

(Coming Home) Mr. David Williamson shares the story of his near-death experience, dying of a heart attack brought on by hypertension after years of intense anger-fueled activism in support of the Black community.

During his encounter on the Other Side, he is surprised to realize that we are All One, while experiencing himself as a glowing orb of light and learning that no experience in this human life is ever lost or wasted.

Mr. Williamson shares how the experience transformed the way he views life now and how it changed the way he relates to all other people.

"We are creating our next life right now in this moment, with our attention"
