Love how the essay was woven with a personal story. I could see the street and hear the shouting. What a lesson to look at: our irritability or anger, or what we would label as a negative character trait, is actually a sign from a part of ourselves that we have been ignoring.
Thanks Bogdan! More and more often when i feel that FLASH of anger, I pause and try imagine it as an inner voice in total frustration trying to show me the answer…….. Does not always work mind you!

Sometimes, I feel shouting is a release valve of a pressure cooker. Like you say, it is a distress signal that needs attention, not judgement.
