Anger always comes from frustrated expectations

“Any ordeal that you can survive as a human
being is an improvement in your character,
and usually an improvement in your life.”

Those who refuse to acknowledge their own
shortcomings or failures often blame others for them.

I was thinking of my patients,
and how the worst moment for them was when
they discovered they were masters of their own fate.
It was not a matter of bad or good luck.
When they could no longer blame fate,
they were in despair.

Where there is no accusation of “fault," there can be no anger.
