"Justifiable" Anger
It is a spiritual axiom that every time we are disturbed, no matter what
the cause, there is something wrong with us. If somebody hurts us and
we are sore, we are in the wrong also. But are there no exceptions to
this rule? What about "justifiable" anger? . . . For us of A.A. these are
dangerous exceptions. We have found that justified anger ought to be
left to those better qualified to handle it.

Thought to Ponder . . .
If we were to live, we had to be free of anger.
