transference

it is so much easier to be angry at someone else. 

i have spent over a decade managing people, so little that they do or don't do doesn't shock me.  Over 80% of theft is internal.  I was so upset last week when an employee, who has been a pain in my behind for months was caught stealing for me.  I wanted the iron fist of justice to come down and squash her for her sinful behavior, for her dishonestness, and for her need to not be grateful for what she had. 

it was actually me that i was angry at, it was me that i wanted all of those things to happen to, because i had been being dishonest in my life, not being grateful for what i had
