Look to the root of anger to find the desire it springs from. Trying to dissipate anger by venting it is like blowing dandelion seeds in the wind. They will take root and spring up again. Use the trowel of discrimination and pull out the root.

To look past hatred and see love, to look past separation and see unity, to look past loss and see gain—such are the ways of the spiritual warrior. Those who choose to live this way have dedicated themselves to realizing the light within themselves and calling it forth in the world.
