I can Love you and be angry at the same time my dear. Love isn’t mutually excluded from anger. It is possible to treat others with care, and respect, even when you are furious.

How? When you feel so strongly about whipping your loved one with your tongue… just stop, take a deep breath, close your eyes, and imagine them saying “I Love you sweetheart, I am sorry that you are feeling so strongly right now. I am here for you, I support you, and I Love you”. This is what Love is after all. It is patient. It is kind. It is understanding. It is forgiving. It is there, even when the anger is so intense. It never wavers, and like a blanket is a warm cloak, nesting both hearts cozy under its comforting covering.

Anger lasts but a moment, but True Love lasts forever.

Feeling so angry that you want to scream?

Is your family being unfair and won’t listen?

Is your partner not doing enough to help out?

Is your coworker deliberately pissing you off?

Is your church blind and just can’t see?

Just remember they Love you… unless they don’t. When imagining the other party speak a litany of Love into your ear, if you feel it is misplaced, or untruthful, stop and care. Care about this understanding of your relationship. Do something about it. Get angry at…
