Anger Cannot Heal

I never would have said this a year ago, but I now know that you cannot heal through anger. Being angry at someone for something they did to you, just is a waste of energy on your part and it throws negativity about. I used to be an angry person, before I became Maxine. I felt two emotions: numb and anger. I did not know how to deal with things and I found getting angry about them was my only solution. Over the summer, I stopped being that hostile. I saw the damage my anger did to me and others. I am not advocating avoiding justice or punishment when necessary but to make revenge your life's ambition, is a pointless task. Gloating about your revenge and walking about calling it justice is not right. Yes, if you commit a crime, you do the time, that time does not include psychological abuse and character assassination of the guilty party. I know they will never really get it. They are still in a child mentality. I've grown up, I don't need to blame someone for all the problems in my life.
