Resistance in the form of angry protest, violent fights, hateful name-calling, or some other form will always be futile. That is for the simple fact that actions with anger-based motivations will always lead to negative consequences.
Many people who feel a welling up of anger in response to other people's actions or events in their lives, may want to use that anger to turn events in their favor. But because the actions that they take will always bring a negative outcome, they would be better off not taking the action.
Initially, practicing some restraint can be hard. There may be a better action to take and, in the case of anger-based actions, there will always be a better action than the one motivated by rage. But you may not know what that is at first. You may know nothing to start with beyond the fact that negative events keep coming my way despite how "hard" I try. It takes a lot of courage and a profound desire for change in one's life to begin to look at the treatment we are doling out to the world if many of our actions remain anger-based.
After noticing the way events and relationships turn sour when engaging with others angrily, we may decide to become aware of the way we feel when we are angry. It is not a very enjoyable feeling. The blood begins to boil, and our level of agitation begins to rise. We may ask why this is. Instead of directing rage at the person we erroneously believe has "caused" the anguish we are experiencing, we may decide to simply feel through that anger. This could mean that we take a bat and beat something non-organic. It could mean we scream our rage or shout out what emotions and false beliefs we are storing in our soul that makes us so angry. In time, if we can feel through this rage and bitterness, we will become soft to some deeper feelings that are below the rage. It may be a complete surprise that these feelings even exist inside us.
We will be brought back to our youths and triggered into remembering all kinds of different experiences in our lives where the emotions were present. This is the process of healing and it needs to happen if we desire a better life for ourselves and our brothers and sisters in the world.
Practicing this method where we become humble to our emotions is a course in sensitivity. It will ultimately lead us to be more aware of the people and things we are attracting into our life. It will make us more responsible people and we will enjoy life more as we learn that we can grow and develop into better people. Soon the things we attract will tend to bring us more joy. The experiences in our life will be more satisfying at the soul-level.
Changing in this way will also bring one unexpected challenge. Other people, including those we have been close to for long periods, many not be able to understand the change that is occurring in us or see how it is positive. We will then experience resistance from them over the choices we have made. Like any other life lesson, we now have another chance to grow. Approaching our resistant friends with love sometimes may mean spending time attempting to teach them what we have learned. It may sometimes mean departing their company knowing that there is no good in discussion based on their current understanding or resistance. It may even mean restricting communication.
