Tags: Anger, Cupcakes, Thermodynamics, Emotions The following is Seth Godins blog post (sethgodin.typepad.com) on October 24th, 2013: Does anger follow the laws of thermodynamics? I have no idea what caused the guy in front of me in traffic to be having a bad day. Maybe he has a stressful meeting coming up, or his butler burned his bacon at breakfast. Maybe he's having trouble paying his rent, or his industry is under siege. All I know is that he's weaving in and out, giving people the finger and yelling at other cars, all at the same time. Unlike cupcakes, anger isn't conserved. If I have a cupcake and I give it to you, I don't have a cupcake any more. But if someone who is angry gives you their anger, now you both might have it. You've seen it too many times before. Someone is afraid, untethered or just upset about something that happened long before you walked into the room. Unbridled agita is dumped on you, spittle flying, eyes wide, personal invective unfiltered. Just feet away, the angry person is saying, "here," and dumping vitriol in your direction. All connection gets severed, any chance for positive engagement seems long gone. The oppor- tunity, it seems, is to pick up some of that anger and throw it right back, where it came from. And now, of course, both of you are having a bad day. Sermon on Anger: Ephesians 4:26-31 says, If you become angry, do not let your anger lead you into sin, and do not stay angry all day. Don't give the Devil a chance...Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you...Get rid of all bitterness, passion, and anger. No more shouting or insults, no more hateful feelings of any sort. Dont let your anger lead you to sin, and dont spread it to others. This is why scripture also says that stupid people express their anger openly and wise people hold it back and are patient. Anger does not achieve Gods righteous purpose. Be mindful of how you communicate your anger to others. Every time you speak, you have the opportunity to either build or destroy. Shared anger destroys trust. It eliminates dialogue. It activates the lizard brain of every- one within earshot, and produces nothing of value. No credit goes to the person who vents, who opens his spleen and shares his anger. No points for bravery or honesty or getting in touch with his feelings. Anger shared is not anger amelio- rated. Talk about it, don't talk with it. Point it out, and then leave it there, on the floor, where, unen- gaged, the anger can't help but wither and die. $1,600
