When what we say and do don't match

I’m a little bit angry today. I can’t get into detail about what sparked this anger. But as with much of the anger that we experience, only a tiny bit comes from the experience or situation that triggered it. And, again as with much of our anger, at the core, I’m mostly angry with myself. 

I’m angry with myself for pretending that I don’t care about things that I do care about. I’m angry with myself for talking about my intentions, but doing something completely different from what I say. I’m angry with myself for saying that I want one thing, but acting as if I want another thing.


In other words, I’m angry for lying to myself and others. I’m angry because I distort reality and create confusion for myself. I’m angry with others for doing the same. And a part of me wishes that I could neither see this in myself, nor in others. Mainly, I wish that I couldn’t see it in others. Because it only causes frustration. The obvious response is to ignore it in others and just work on fixing it in my own life. But it’s hard. God, please help me!
