Harnessing Anger with Compassion

The experience of anger or rage in the context of social injustice can be reframed. Anger and rage often carry negative connotations, suggesting a judgmental stance towards others. However, it is possible to experience a forceful self that confronts and addresses injustice without losing connection to compassion. This approach emphasizes that while one can be assertive in calling out injustice, it is crucial to remain empathetic and compassionate towards those affected, highlighting a constructive path forward instead of a purely reactive one.
