The second volcano is dormant.Like the first one, its also coveredwith lush vegetation and teemingwith wildlife, but inside the magmahas not cooled and solidified.Seemingly peaceful on theoutside, one day it will erupt againwith force and power, spewing outrocks and ash and destroying allthat grows and lives nearby.

Anger is like a volcano. Heatedfrustration seethes within, andwhen let loose it will cause hurt

and pain. Sometimes we let itshow, like the active volcano,when were frustrated, annoyed, or

feeling misunderstood. Hot, angrywords spew from our mouths,hurting those we direct them at.

Other times we hold anger in. Slowly theanger builds up, like the magma graduallybuilding pressure within the belly of thedormant volcano, until one day we

explode in anger, spouting off angry,hurtful words and acting in anunloving manner. In the end, ouranger places barriers betweenus and our loved ones, and wehurt ourselves most of all.

The good news is that anger can bedispelled. The next time you feel angry,take a deep breath. Eventually you mayneed to speak with the person who has

upset you, but wait until youve calmeddown and you can choose your wordswith care. Treat others as you wouldhave them treat you, and youll bemuch happier.
