What are your attachments? They are tinder for the flames of anger.
Worry about what others think of you? The smallest slight to your name and anger boils.
Worry about winning the next project? Any gains by your competitors put you in a frenzy.
Have to control your environment? Any wrinkle or slip and your are caught up in a fit.
Your welfare more important than others? Everyone presents a battle to be fought.
What are you holding, what are you guarding, what are you demanding and expecting?
It's all tinder, waiting to be set to flame by the smallest of sparks.

Why am I so angry?
Is it the person in front of me or the situation?
Is it because of what they are doing or because I don't know how to respond?
Is it too intense? Am I too tired?
Is it because I don't know the right answer?
Is it because what I have tried isn't working?
Why am I so angry and what am I to do with this anger?
If you can sit with the intensity of that question and continue to work with it,
the only thing left to do is create.
Try another method.
Push another limit.
Fail another attempt.
Reach a different conclusion.
Dance to a different rhythm.
When the situation is intense, you could simply be angry- internally or externally.
Or you could dance harder.
