Channeling the demon of anger vs. Channeling your higher self
It's actually pretty natural for us to hate others after they've stabbed us in the back.
In some instances we become so determined to get our way, that we make sure to get back at whoever angered us. It is human nature, and human nature will always go for the destructive path.
Our ego is a dangerous thing. When we allow this demon of anger to be fed we open a door of unspeakable horrors. This is, at least to my knowledge, the only demon that can manifest itself into the physical world (I saw it as a "cloud" of black "smoke"), and if left unattended will cause serious repercussions.
There is no such thing as a good demon, each one is an aspect of ourselves that needs overcome. But to overcome each and every one, we must give up whatever is feeding it.
Instead of letting the pain and suffering get to you, let go of it. It provides you with nothing good other than the illusion of revenge. Eventually you'll find yourself unable to carry on, and either you will have to give up the demon or else you'll be unable to control yourself - and the line between right and wrong will be blurred.
It feels good to call out those who angered us, but the feeling is temporary and will eventually cause us to collapse under our own weight.
Let go of the struggle, it's not going to do you any good. There's no point in trying to survive a battle that doesn't need to be fought.
Before you can reach enlightenment, you must discover yourself.
"You" do not exist in hate alone, nor do you exist in love alone. That is why balance is such a necessity when attempting to find happiness. One thing will imply the other: you cannot be perfect without being imperfect.
