I really enjoyed reading this. Anger is an amazing resource but needs careful handling I think! I see righteous anger as a fuel…if we use it in a controlled way, it can ignite us to find a way to express (rather than repress) really important emotions and this is ultimately healing. Uncontrolled, anger will burn everything in its path (relationships with others and ultimately ourselves!)

Thanks for reading and commenting, Esther. And for joining my substack. I love the metaphor of 'righteous anger as a fuel'. It does help us both individually and as a society fight injustices and has for many years. :) So different from uncontrolled anger, like you said.
