Interesting - I've not explored anger too deeply but it feels like it often originates from fear.

There's also an anger that appears while filled with love & in flow. It so rarely occurs & dissipates so quickly, that I find it difficult study or judge.

On the outside it appears as regular anger, indistinguishable from anger originating from fear. Internally it feels lighter, almost playful but the pain it causes externally is very real. A wise observer might describe it at was righteous anger.

Ephesians 4:26-27

Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity

Fear is a common origination. Can come from other things as well. Unexpressed grief. Trauma. Etc.

I believe anger is the root of a lot of chronic disease. It’s also very addictive and an easy emotion to manipulate. Politics do this very well.

Makes the divide and conquer much easier. War creates trauma that divides further from the truth that we are one.

Quite the tool. For me, better to feel it, get to root, and transmute.

Resisting or suppressing your feelings is never advisable. Experiencing your feelings & allowing them to flow through you is important.

I'm going to play with 'Anger as a tool'.

Important to feel it. Not saying to suppress it. But also important to get to the root… which isn’t always obvious. The root is what releases its grip.
