Inside the feelings of anger or resentments that bubble up, there are layers of demands – situational demands on top, personal face-saving demands just beneath, relational longer lasting demands at the floor, and self-esteem demands in the first basement. Freedom from being dominated by anger begins by tracking down the demands made ON others. Recognizing them, naming them, seeing their source and purpose, admitting them out loud, taking responsibility for the anger demands and, finally, taking full ownership of anger. Once the anger is owned, one has a choice to (1) negotiate the demands that matter, or (2) cancel the demands that do not.

When a man is getting better he understands more and more clearly the evil that is still left in him. When a man is getting worse, he understands his own badness less and less. A moderately bad man knows he is not very good: a thoroughly bad man thinks he is alright.
