If you vent anger with the object of spreading your toxic feelings, the result will have nothing to do with healing. Your anger is your weapon.

But if you have a healing intention, two things will happen: you will feel more peaceful after your anger has been released, and you will feel like an old, fixed belief in enemies and injustice has started to move.

Yes, said the sketch, anger had.
