ABSTRACT
As you write the Makes Us Feel chart on the board, explain to learners that we choose anger over fear because, no matter how irrational the anger, it makes us feel bigger, more powerful.
Anger puffs out the ego. Inflated egos fee l stronger, and that’s why we keep inflating them. Alas, the inflation is an illusion, no more substantial than the air in a balloon. When push comes to shove, the balloon bursts. The chief recourse of the egoist is more hot air.
