Brendan, here is todays quote, co-incidence?

Is there righteous anger ever?

One of the most common expressions of violence is anger. When my wife
or sister is attacked I say I am righteously angry; when my country is
attacked, my ideas, my principles, my way of life, I am righteously
angry. I am also angry when my habits are attacked or my petty little
opinions. When you tread on my toes or insult me I get angry, or if
you run away with my wife and I get jealous, that jealousy is called
righteous because she is my property. And all this anger is morally
justified. But to kill for my country is also justified. So when we
are talking about anger, which is a part of violence, do we look at
anger in terms of righteous and unrighteous anger according to our own
inclinations and environmental drive, or do we see only anger? Is
there righteous anger ever? Or is there only anger?…
