Unresolved Anger Undermines Joy

KATHY—Unresolved anger can become a driving force, a passion, an energy that can seem good and productive, while it undermines like termites until the core of character, integrity, hope and joy of life is eaten away.  Unresolved anger can become depression, fear, sickness and even a pattern of failure.  I know a young lady whose anger at criticism and injustice as a child kept her grieving.  She became a prisoner of her focus.  Because she could not take her eyes off of her victimization, she remained a victim, actually positioning herself for more criticism and injustice.  Resolving her anger was the release from the pattern.
