The late Fred Rogers was a beloved children's television personality and also a minister. He had this to say about how to handle anger: "Confronting our feelings and giving them appropriate expression always takes strength, not weakness. It takes strength to acknowledge our anger, and sometimes more strength yet to curb the aggressive urges anger may bring and to channel them into nonviolent outlets. It takes strength to face our sadness and to grieve and to let our grief and our anger flow in tears when they need to. It takes strength to talk about our feelings and to reach out for help and comfort when we need it" (from The World According to Mr. Rogers [New York: Hyperion, 2003]).
Beating swords into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks is an act of strength, not weakness.
