By Alan Scott, Catholic Exchange - In general, most people tend to prefer peace to conflict. We definitely prefer calm to tension. Yet, anger still shows up occasionally to rear its ugly little head… And, often, being angry, when it comes down to it, is because of one thing: selfishness… Nearly every time we get angry, it’s because something is not going our way… the true virtue of overcoming anger is proven by getting along with people and situations that are difficult and even contrary to our own way of seeing things.
