Posted by Jen We might disagree, but I'm not sure. I wasn't talking about karma or anything past-life. (Personally, from a metaphysical standpoint, I neither believe nor disbelieve in karma & reincarnation. And that's not even doormat-diplomacy! :') I sidestepped the "instant karma" part of Linda's question because I'm not sure what it is (except maybe something by the Beatles?). Anyway, are you saying Linda doesn't need to suffer unnecessarily by judging her own anger? If so I'd agree. I'm thinking that anger can be uncomfortable, and it seems that lashing out can be a 'self-rejecting' mechanism. But in a way, who cares, processing isn't about discerning your motivation by your action... seems to me the heart of it has more to do with being with what you feel. Though - maybe my assumption that anger can uncomfortable is my own blind spot! Since it's just an emotion, if it's accepted it doesn't need to be uncomfortable. It's the avoiding of the emotion that makes it uncomfortable. So I guess it's just about looking at whether or not that's what you're doing as you express anger. ? I need to stop thinking. Maybe Linda could plan to slide into that editorial job after the staff mutiny. Ciao,
