Listen to ‘Dear Sugars’: Rage Is a Red Lesson — With Morgan Jerkins

By THE NEW YORK TIMES | May 12th 2018

A letter writer isn’t able to curb her uncontrollable rage for the sake of her family. The Sugars explore the traumas that lie beneath her anger.

I have listened to this discussion of rage.

There seems to be no effective way to fix rage directly.

Consider indirect measures.

Buddhism.
Monasticism.
The eremitic life.
Negotiation.
Murder.
Suicide.
Medication.
Suffering.

Negotiation is my choice

Sooner is better.  As soon as you can is best.
