Quenching the Fire of Anger
Like a forest fire, anger tends to burn up its own support. If we jump down into the middle of such a fire, we will have little chance of putting it out, but if we create a clearing around the edges, the fire can burn itself out. This is the role of meditation: creating a clearing around the margins of anger. – Mark Epstein, “I’ve Been Meditating for Ten Years, and I’m Still Angry.
