One of the most important things to know about a person’s Wood element is what kinds of force they are willing to exert in order to get their way. Very often we speak about Wood in terms of justice and of anger as being the sign that justice has not been done: “That’s not fair—you are taking my thing, stepped on my foot, you are holding me down!”

This is of course quite idealistic. Wouldn’t it be nice if the only times we got angry were times when an injustice has been done? Usually, however, by the time we start embarking into battle mode, by then we want a whole heck of a lot more than justice; we want dominance. Maybe that’s all we wanted in the first place—just to get what we want. That has nothing to do with justice.

This article explores the common Wood patterns of disharmony that characterize anger which is no longer (and possibly never was) positive or constructive. This includes deficient patterns which over time become excess (victim becomes aggressor) as well as excess patterns rooted in genuine lack of empathy for “the other eye/I.”
