"Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."
Yoda
So as I move down this chain of emotions I have posted (thank you Yoda) I may be a bit concerned for where I am headed.... I know that I'm not going to "go Sith" on the world but I also know that it may prevent me from being how I want to be. So as I sit here in this hotel room I ponder on this idea... I definitely have passed the first part, I know I am at anger, It's an OK stage, I believe. At times it is necessary to "let go of your anger", I prefer doing this in the privacy of my room (or hotel room, whatever) this way no one else is involved or gets physically hurt/injured. Although at times the person you are angry with will inevitably call or something and you will unavoidably answer the phone (probably not the best move). Once on the phone one will probably hurt the other person in a more psychological level. Now I'm not saying that the other person did or didn't deserve what they are getting but, one must reach deep, deep, deep down inside and try to be calm and patient, unless you really did want to let them have it in which case, so be it. I find myself angry but I have been able to (don't know how) keep calm enough where I have not let anyone have it yet. I may be reaching some sort of limit. I honestly don't think there is anyone I hate, dislike maybe, but not hate. I find hate to be a very strong feeling, Which is why it leads to suffering, maybe your own or someone else's, but still there will be suffering. And even if you are not the one made to suffer, once that guilt thing starts happening in your head you will suffer as well.
I believe I am writing this as a way to keep myself at Anger and maybe start working in reverse, hopefully skipping fear and just moving in the direction of the Light Side or in regular terms, being more positive. It seems this will take some time.... OK maybe a lot of time. I know I can be well, I know I shall be well. Time will help me in this....
