During this past week, our scribe wrestled with some her remaining inner demons or that least what she would characterize as a negative emotion, namely anger. By nature, our scribe is more cerebral than her daily companions, living in her head more than her heart. So when she is confronted by another individual, sometimes the emotional reaction can leave her feeling very unbalanced and unsure for a while. Recently, when she was unfairly accused of interfering during an email discussion, she felt a surge of anger and a sense of injustice come alive within. She was startled at the intensity of the reaction and for a moment wondered if she had not succeeded in clearing out most of the debris within that might act as a mirror for another to act upon. Then she realized that the attack was actually an issue of the other person. She stood up for herself, in her reply and in her messages to her superiors in the chain of command. She was not going to accept this other person’s determination that she was somehow inferior and could be summarily dismissed as being incompetent.
