Why are we here?

Ha ha! You couldn't resist.. do you really think I know why we are here? I believe I know. Here's my best guess: we are here to realize and reconnect with who we really are; we are here to be the truth of what we know.. not what we fear. Yet, our actions are fear based (okay some of us not so much) but most of us act based on the fears that society and our peers and our spouses and our family will judge us unworthy if we were unlimited, uninhibited and honestly our true selves. Everybody knows when they have a moment where they feel truly alive and not just existing, and yet we keep within our boundaries so we can keep existing..

I was reading about anger last night on a random blog and the writers expressed a viewpoint that I have read before, which is that anger itself is a mask for other emotions.. many other emotions. Well, I don't know much about it but again, my reality right now is that anger itself can be simply anger. That doesn't mean that for one to feel anger even for 15 minutes that a person is an "angry" person. It simply means that if you feel anger, it doesn't have to be a "mask" of a terrible childhod, an eating disorder, or an inabilty to express yourself. Why is anger such a bad thing? I love it. I don't live it, I don't feel it right now, but when I do I am going to own it and let it be clear that whatever is upsetting me will no longer be acceptable. You know why? It feels good to me to express joy, love, compassion, appreciation, and even anger. I feel life! I care deeply and I will not deny myself the opportunity to just be. By the way, Bryan was not the inspiration for this post, although he could have been, and that would be okay too.
