What does this mean? To switch from "hurt" to "anger" means there is a major shift in responsibility. When I felt that someone had hurt me, I believed it was their responsibility to make it right. I had not asked to be hurt. They did it; they should make it right. If they didn't, it wasn't my fault. And more than that, I deserved others' empathy and consolation. I sought this by "confessing" what I felt the other person had done to me. I never considered this gossip. After all, I was in pain. But anger I knew that I was responsible for anger and what I did with it. After all the Bible says, "Be angry and sin not." So to be angry meant that I was responsible for my own actions or how I chose to work out my anger. |
