“Love is not provoked by another, nor does it provoke." Unknown

How easy am I to provoke? How easy is it to “push my buttons”, as we say? To say that love is not easily angered does not mean that it never expresses anger. Love sometimes expresses a restrained anger. The measure of its release seeks to benefit, not lash out in order to hurt, but to initiate healing. The surgeon cuts, but for a different reason than a combatant. The next time you think anger is appropriate, make sure its release is controlled and designed to heal rather than hurt.
