Well, yeah. Of course I still get angry, sometimes. But not like I used to. It's not so much about controlling the feeling itself, or stopping it from happening, it's what you do about it. Father Kelly used to say to me, "Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned." It's a quote from somewhere, I can't remember exactly, but the point of it is that holding on to your anger isn't healthy or productive. I had to learn that. I can choose to be angry at my dead mother, or Roger, or God, but what good is it to me? All it does is make me want to put my fist through a wall or something. So I get angry, but I accept it, and I try to let it go.

[He half-smiles, because he knows exactly how all of this sounds.]

I may've seen a therapist or two.
