On Anger

"Anger is just a cowardly extension of sadness.

It's a lot easier to be angry at someone than to tell them you're hurt."


I was sent this text message by a friend and my first thought was: denial. I said, that sometimes this happens because you're in denial about being affected by something. You do not admit to others, to the person involved, or even to yourself that you are hurt. Instead, you get mad. As the statement tells us: it is a cowardly extension of sadness.
