Life Anger is the kind of anger that you don’t really want to admit to because it smells faintly (and sometimes pungently) of a “poor me” attitude. It’s the type of anger that begins to seep into our veins when one too many things seem to have gone wrong, or aren’t happening easily, or haven’t gone exactly (or at all) how we’d expected them to go. These things build up over time, and try as we might to practice gratitude—however earnestly and honestly—we can’t escape this growing frustration with the way our life is playing out.
