“Have you considered that if you don't make waves, nobody including yourself will…” — Theodore Isaac Rubin

Feeling angry is a universal human phenomenon. It is as basic as feeling hungry, lonely, loving, or tired. The capacity to feel angry and to respond in some way to that feeling is in us from birth.

Children are extremely perceptive and absorb what goes on around them long before they can talk or even comprehend language. They are like finely tuned receivers that pick up much more than is merely said. They are receptive and attuned to every mood, feeling, and change that goes on in people around them.

The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.

Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.
