Discontent, misunderstanding, anger, and disappointment can expand or find solace in discovery.

Without a Fuse

One's inner clouds
Render cushions of comfort
Rain becomes a cleansing
Internal sweat asking to be understood

Amidst this duplicity
Children might say, "What happened?"
"These big people are so unpredictable."
"Why are they so nice all of a sudden?"

Accepting anger is resolve's first step
Feelings become normal
Impressions are accepted
For what they truly are
Impressions
Points of view
Simply
More Kramer vs. Kramers of the world

Yes

When anger finds its source
Love/hate merges as one
Seeking not some desperate anchor
Instead
Mutual consciousness awakens
Recognizing differences
As merely layers of experiences
Vying for acknowledgment
Not battle

Interesting
This bomb

Without a fuse
Discovery presents but an explosion biding time
Never to ignite its acrimony

One answer to conflict has to be compromise, going back to the source of anger, as you suggest, until some for of "mutual consciousness awakens" and people are not only able to recognize differences, but better understand them. If only this could happen in the world that we now live in. Sadly, such thoughts have little traction in today's acrmonious world.

Your words are gold here, Odin! It's not like anyone is saying that he is better than.......or that she is such and such! Getting to know the person is primo! We all have the feelings and it's excellent to express them in a natural way. I could, as you know, go on..................

Love ya!
