What's It All About?

1. a zine exploring creative personal, social, political and philosophical responses to the phrase ANGER&fun*
2. especially relating to using anger and fun as motivators to create change.

Anger as Energy

It’s the power to create change if you learn how to use it.
Go with your strengths, they say…

While I am, shall we say, blessed with the ability to feel and express my anger easily, I have spent most of my life learning how to deal with this energy in a constructive way. Studying the work of spiritual teachers and great thinkers, I understand that anger used as a weapon causes only harm, to me and to my prey.

Yet anger is also a gift- energy- a spur.

Anger is a call to action-- an awareness that something needs to change, and a gift of the energy needed to make something happen. Anger burns as fuel to create change. Don’t waste that energy!

The focus of this zine is not to incite anger, but to use that angry energy in a positive, constructive way. Let this be a forum to share, explain and discuss what’s on our minds.
