I think a lot of people walk around with hidden (and maybe unconscious) anger...I wonder if it's hard for some religious people to "own" their angry feelings. Maybe they feel that it would be sinful to admit to being angry. What do you think?...I try to stay away from people who seem to have a lot of "buried" anger. (If possible.) Obviously they have a lot of unresolved issues "bubbling away" inside of them. (Which can lead to negativity.) How do you feel about it? Thanks.

I've found that to be very true Kerby W R...there ARE a lot of angry people out there...those are the ones that I feel a great compassion for...they are indeed, living in a world of hurt caused by their own making....and it's very sad....CArizona...some probably do walk around with "hidden anger"...but at least they hide it, and keep their personal battles to themselves....the worst is when you meet someone who is an outwardly angry person...always negative...those are the ones who if you're not up to the challenge of bringing out some kind of spark of joy in their lives...it's best to walk away.

I'm glad you included the bolded caveat. Angry people need love, too. I'm glad there were people who were up to MY challenge and didn't walk away, because having people walk away from me made me even more stuck in my anger. Not everyone is going to be up for the challenge that an angry person presents, and probably no one is always going to be up to the challenge. But what a difference it can make when they are.
