In Buddhism the three poisons are greed, hate, and delusion. Some versions have anger as one of the poisons. I’ve never had much difficulty with an explosive temper. Rather, my form of poison is a grinding arthritic frustration with the eventual effect of judging people very harshly in my mind, though less often in word or deed.

What I’ve come to see recently is that this frustration is not wholesome. This isn’t a result of some Buddhist catechism that I’ve internalized. It’s just plain seeing. Not seeing this has locked my mind in a rut for several years.
