We are too good at deceiving ourselves to know if we have “righteous anger” or not. Maybe this is why there is no such allowance in Scripture. Even so, we can fool ourselves into thinking we’re innocent, or justified, or victimized. This human trait goes way back. Study Adam and Eve and their interactions with God right after they disobeyed Him. Adam’s very first reaction was to blame Eve. Eve’s very first reaction was to blame the serpent. Victims.
