Bengal Tigers Like Bacon Marinated in Rage

A Tale From the Tragic Sip (Ep7)

Bengal Tigers Like Bacon Marinated in Rage

This week I take a further look at anger … why it is natural and useless. Also tips on escaping a tiger. Included are the poems Leviathan of Fire, from Tattoo, Calling All Soldier Home, and Reverse Chameleon, from Monsters.

fascinating - we do confuse other emotions and sensations as anger. I've done this myself.

[Pryde Foltz]

That we do ... fear the post common one. Hope you having a great day, my friend:)

Amazing! The anger licks and crawls but has a substance to it. Also it simmers which is good.

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Sindu.

Yes, anger is natural -- and even necessary sometimes. But, letting it boil over into acts of rage will only ever achieve suffering on all sides. Rage makes us set aside our intellect, our reason. Without our intellect and reasoned compassion, we loose our humanity.

"You can't see your reflection in boiling water. Similarly, you can't see the truths in your life in a state of anger." ––unknown

The candle on the mantle seems earthquake proof... and tiger resistant. It's life burns down between the iron coils, safe from tippage but ... oh, wait, there is no down side. :)

I just want to say something silly... coolaroons. Yes, that's it. Why do you write such good stuff? Monkeys with sticks cringe to drag them through the sand. Low flying birds fear to actually aim for spotless, white cars or sample Fedoras. There's always the flounder... too low to feel intimidated.

100 intimidated flounders

LOL … the candle on the mantle is a courting candle … one can decide how much candle to give prospective suitor by moving the candle up and down. You are good to me … Thank you, UFO:)

I bloom in your spring, grow in your summer and winter seems a distant memory. :)

deeply thought out mini series on anger .. i am glad once again to be reminded to shed anger ... not always easy is it!? :}
James 1:19-20 My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.

Thank you, E … and that is a wonderful quote … I think every major religion warns against anger but it is easy to fall into … and the ego eats it up:)

[Einstein Noodle]

yes .. i think you are correct .. :{

Pryde,

I'm beginning to gulp! Excuse my piggish ness! You have an uncanny sense for metaphor unlike anyone here at the cafe. I just wish you could fill more of the YouTube screen that way we can enjoy your beauty all the more.

Regards,
Al

I love your vlog episodes Pryde - theyyyre GRRRREAT !
the annotations give it an extra je ne sais quoi - was the 'see an eye doctor' a play on words to see a therapist - or did I miss soemthing and actually literally need to see an eye doctor - whatever it was I burst out laughing when it popped up.

I enjoy my Friday with Pryde-day - look forward to it. thanks for the RR you rock n roller !!

I have a constant battle with anger - most times Im on top of it but on the odd occasion when I get caught in the moment it gets the upper hand.

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, ANTO … the eye doctor joke was to cover that the shot got blurry:) Yeah … anger is there for most of us … the goal is to understand it and not it overcome one.

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Ron … being a tiger these days tends to get one in a cage … lol.

[Coyote Poetry]

The verbal poetry is outstanding. I could listen to you and never complain.
