Anger Is Cruel and Fury Is Overwhelming

Anger is only the heart experiencing the element of surprise. The reality that you allowed yourself to be in a position of sudden surprise is what misguides that anger. The heart is proud and our minds are boastful, but if you can’t fully comprehend the chidlike nature of the heart, why allow your mind to accept its choice as fact. If you chastise a child for eating too much candy, and the child’s disobedience leads to a tummy ache, then why would you be shocked when the child reveals their secret, unbeknownst to you, that candy was the culprit behind their agonizing pain. Can you honestly say you would be surprised? Sometimes we allow our hearts to overshadow our own logic. The logical reason for kids to eat candy until their stomach aches is because children like to eat candy. You can't expect the heart to learn a valuable lesson if it has not felt the ache behind the decision it made that you chose to follow. Some lessons can only be learned through temporary agonizing pain.
