and that some people were just born with the temperament
to get angrier faster than others.
That statement is only half right.
Anger is an instinctive response.
We respond to an affront with anger essentially instantaneously -

But the instinct of the anger response
can be trained through conscious repetition,
visualization, and coaching.
Visualization is seeing the event
we desire to master in our mind's eye.

As the witnessing deepens,
you start becoming drunk with the divine.
That is what is called ecstasy.

If a man is called to be a street sweeper,

is your own happiness.
Unconditional universal forgiveness is
the key to your own happiness.
