Who are we angry with?

This is probably all nonsense, but then there isn't much else for me to think of sometimes when I'm either driving to and from work, or I'm doing work by rote. I was thinking about people who are "victims." Yes, bad things happen to people sometimes. And they bring it upon themselves, sometimes not. I really think it is all a state of mind. You are only a "victim" or a "target" if you think of yourself in that light. And when someone hurts a you, that someone is not always consciously acting against you. Yes, there are those that act out in anger, but I don't think that the guy who cut you off this morning on the way to work was doing it 'cause he wanted to hurt you. He was probably completely oblivious to your very existence. And this causes me to wonder, what hurts more... the thought that you were the target of a malicious act, or the thought that you don't even exist to this other person. How often do we not even truly understand the consequences of our actions?
I try (and I mean TRY) to consider my actions whenever possible. But is it possible to be completely aware of absolutely everything all the time? Mistakes happen. So, I hope I am aware that others make the same mistakes that I do. How completely ego-centric are we? Am I?
I will be honest though, I have a bad case of road rage, I love to give people snarly looks and yell at them from the comfort of my car. I suppose it's a great way for me to release stress. I am not really angry, but it sure feels wonderful to yell obscenities that no one else can hear. I know, I know... none of this seems to have anything whatsoever to do with witchcraft. Although, if I am exploring the inner me and my spirituality, I should be exploring every aspect of myself, my life, and my beliefs that I can.

I have added a new link on the right hand side. I thought it was an interesting read. And a good way to keep up on the news happening in the pagan world. I don't know that I could possibly add anything to his topics, he covers so much. It is The Wild Hunt Blog.. at www.wildhunt.org/blog
