Thanks Mike- that summarizes it nicely. I've been doing some work on this the last couple days- clearly an anger trigger at work. I've approached it from an BillW Emotional Sobriety standpoint- where the "mental upset" correlates to an unhealthy attachment, likewise anger as a consequence of fear. But for me it seems the essays hit my victim triggers; the "thats not fair" response and so I move into judgement etc. Still working... thx all.
