into that dusty storage locker, and start to LIVE.
Not just today, but EVERY DAY for the rest of your life!

Anger is something that each one of us has experienced -
some of us only occasionally, some almost daily.
Can we eliminate all anger? Probably not.
We will always have expectations,
and those expectations will often be unmet.
Disappointment is the principle cause of anger.

Declaring someone to be at fault is the nature of anger.
Anger is always directed at someone -
possibly toward God or the non-specific "they,"
but at some animate entity.

A strong but non-violent man is unjust by accident.

They knew that it was a mortal sin to marry
someone of a different skin color.

Revenge... is like a rolling stone,
which, when a man hath forced up a hill,

and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion.

To love. To be loved.
To never forget your own insignificance.
To never get used to the unspeakable violence
and the vulgar disparity of life around you.
To seek joy in the saddest places.
To pursue beauty to its lair.
To never simplify what is complicated
or complicate what is simple.
To respect strength, never power.
Above all, to watch. To try to understand.
To never look away. And never, never, to forget.
- Arundhati Roy

Having seen the devastation of war first hand,
Eisenhower came both to despise war
and to see that "war settles nothing."

When truly necessary, violence met with violence -
but never hate responded to with hate.
