On Surrendering Our Anger It doesn’t matter if someone tells you that you “deserve” to be angry—you deserve, of course, to feel whatever you want to feel! But the only way to experience miracles is to think about situations in a miracle-minded way. Holding on to anger hurts no one but yourself. As it says in A Course in Miracles, “Do you prefer to be right or to be happy?” The universe knows if you were hurt, and it is already on the case to make right whatever wrong occurred. Your anger, if it lingers, throws a wrench in the machine of the miraculous universe. Something miraculous happens when we say, “I am angry but I am willing not to be. Dear God, help me see this situation differently. Amen.”
