It's been weeks now that I've carried around this barely concealed resentment for life. People make me angry, the way the world is run makes me angry, knowing that things are corrupt and messed up and I'll never have the power to change any of it makes me even MORE angry. I wake up in the morning and feel my heart sink because I know it's just going to be another empty day, filled with killing time. Friends, family, even my husband are finding it hard to be around me. They don't know where this anger comes from, how could they when even I don't know? They are getting impatient and want me to just get over this feeling. And that, of course, just makes me feel miserable and pissed off. Why can't they see the world the way I do? If they did, I promise they would be angry as well. But my husband told me this morning I'm getting difficult to be around and I'm afraid he is going to leave me because of this. How do I find out what the source of my anger is? Looking inward and just asking myself isn't coming up with any answers.

well the first thing you have to do is figure that you can't do anything about how things are ran cause thats the world only people who can do anything about the way its ran is congress,the legislature, gop so you have to set the stage cause theses groups are the ones that can do something about it you can't changeing the laws only does so much even the way the american people that pass bills doesn't want to step up i would go and talk to a mental health and counselor can help you sort theses things out and set meaning to help you out
Ask yourself the question - who is getting angry? When you say I am getting angry ask yourself - who is this I? When you go in quest of this I - am I the body, am I the mind, am I the ego - then you will realize that the ego that gets angry, that hates, that becomes jealous and takes revenge, is an illusion, it doesn't exist. Then you will transcend anger, you will overcome anger because you will realize that you are the Divine Soul, not the body, not the mind that you seem to be. Therefore, this is the way to transcend the ego and to overcome anger.
