Real wisdom in all your responses. I agree to acknowledge your anger. I also suggest tracing the anger to the thoughts that created it. You can change your thoughts and change what feelings you have.
Anger is an expression of the ego-mind in search of power and control. Anger is an offshoot of fear. Be aware of when the ego is running you and fear is the guiding force.
Fear is a product of your thoughts. Fear is not real unless there is a bus heading for you in the crosswalk. Then move quickly. Same with fear in other place in life, move quickly away from the thoughts that are creating fear within you.
The other strong fear antidote is love. An open heart always trumps fear.
