BIG thinking today, although all over the place

I thought a LOT about
ANGER
BUT 

I have not got it figured out yet 

I did think about the whole
I'm MAD too, Eddie
& how there is
in a LOT of 
the anger
TRIGGERS

I'm speaking generally 
this is also not the
ONLY cause
JUST common
& I think 
not just me

there is a SENSE of 
things being 
DONE to

there's a LACK of FEELING personal AGENCY
& I THINK 
the DESIRE to COUNTER that
with 
what I think of as 
CARNEY JUSTICE 

taking things out on something that we DO have AGENCY over

SO
stereotypically 
your boss yells at you
& MAYBE you kick your dog

if you're MORE enlightened 
maybe you transmute it into physical activity 

SPORT 
of some kind

BUT 
if you've got 
YEARS

of backed up
unprocessed anger
it's ACTUALLY 

a GIANT reservoir of 
RAGE

I have a GIANT reservoir of RAGE 
that I could really use 
RELEASING

BUT 
I don't know 
HOW to DO that 

I used to imagine 
beating the person's head into a rock or something 
& I had forgotten that

it's been so long 
I guess I just didn't feel comfortable with that 
I just locked it all the WAY down 

I definitely think
I would benefit from being able to 
PROCESS that
BUT 
I don't know 
HOW 

I MEAN 
I THINK some kind of intense
PHYSICAL activity is 
WARRANTED

BUT 
I don't think that is the answer
in the MOMENT of 
ANGER

MAYBE 
if I could DRAIN the TANK then there would be
MORE ROOM 
to buffer the ANGER
until I got to the
PHYSICAL 
activity 

BUT ALSO 
I NEED to get the mindset 
that I CONTROL ME
& my OWN AGENCY, although I don't think 
THAT is EXACTLY what I mean 

it's something like that 
& THAT is the THING 
I keep trying to get 
BACK to

there are parts of this I can't fully articulate 

& from the standpoint of 
the "empathy box" religious paradigm
I think you CAN 
USE 
ANGER

to GATHER 
BUT 
THEN you have to 
TRANSMUTE it into something
ELSE

rather that
POINTING it AT another group
