There's a kind of drunkenness of holding on to anger and hurt... A very tempting drunkenness where one feels justified with one's views and one's actions... justified in being violent or harming others... A desire for others to hurt as well.
Anger, because it is felt so strongly and so viscerally... and it feels so real... makes us feel our "Rightness" is real: That our actions and attitudes are indeed okay.
The strange thing is I find it's so easy to fall into the drunkenness that is so destructive... and at times gets us the opposite of what he hope for or want. When I'm on the bottle, how do I get off?
