“We cannot become angry unless we believe we are right.
Today when you feel irritated about something,
breathe deeply and allow being right to melt into being present.”
Today when you feel irritated about something,

Ready for an interesting insight? I have yet to find an instance for myself in which the idea that if I am angry, I must feel I am right, doesn't fit. Now, I can't always melt into being present...:-)
Mmmmm, I think I have to agree with Laura. Of course, I'm going to have to check it against coming experiences, but I suspect that this is very true.
Still trying to figure out my dog, though. I get angry at him quite a bit and I think it's because circumstances don't go my way (inconvenience) I suppose that is a form of being right. I see a pattern of irritation with beings that I don't always find to behave rationally (at least by MY definition)!
How perfectly put and how very true! Thanks for this quote.
