Don't Get Mad - Get Wise
We all know anger but seek peace. Many find forgiveness difficult, especially when the source of our hurt is up close and personal. Anger destroys, peace restores and forgiveness heals - a journey we can all learn to make. By first understanding the true cause of our anger, the true source of our peace and the enlightened way of forgiveness, we can go beyond the common psychological understanding to reveal the depth of the ‘spiritual perspective’ of anger and the ultimate antidote.
