things better. It makes things worse. Anger can be compared to fire. Fire, like anger, has a lot of redeeming uses. It protects and warms us in the colder months, creates lovely ambience with a fireplace or a candle, and kills the destructive bacteria residing in our food. But if we don’t keep fire inside boundaries, if we let it run wild, then it has the potential to destroy an entire house, or a forest, or human life. Let fire rage and it will steal, kill, and destroy whatever and whomever lies in its path.
