      This is cosmic coincidence..
      As a rural citizen of India
      From last few days I was thinking of channeling my anger and helplessness about the past as a fual that burn me completely so that I can completely get over what my culture has made out of me( I live in culture that has no value of knowledge hence has powerty of every kind with full of arrogance) .
      I hope your understanding will help me in my journey.

      Negative energy is negative...."evil" is mostly subjective. Minus killing babies and genocide, most supposed "evil" things are in a grey area and differ from one culture to the next.
      A shot of fierceness is invigorating and can propel one to get off of his laurels and do something.....
      We live in a fake ass culture where asking someone how they're doing isn't actually a question about a person's wellbeing, it's just a meaningless nicety. No one actually gives a fuck, nor do they want to hear it. Don't ask me that question, because I'm gonna unload on you.... Be real. Negativity has its place. Sometimes motherfuckers need to be jarred out of their hypnosis and wakened to their own bullshit.

Are these not natural causes? Even though one can ascribe these causes to these emotions, claiming such a thing in such a way excludes the possibility of other causes: such as with anger rising from vengeance.

    This is a big problem for today’s society, especially for the new generation, we have been taught that anger is never socially acceptable. That we are supposed to be happy all the time, or just playing it cool. Which turns people to plastic, and makes them overly sensitive.

      @@AlecEburhard when you live in a society where anger is not acceptable, you get less people expressing themselves in an aggressive manner, you get less confrontation (you can clearly see that the new generations doesn't like confrontation at all!). So this becomes the social norm that you have to be positive and smile all the time and anger is considered hostile, so as a result when you express the slightest anger people get offended (which is also what's happening nowadays).

      Some people have deeper connections with their empathy towards others and anger is typically spurred by being hurt, offended, etc. Therefore we're naturally inclined, to certain degrees, to soothe someone who appears to be experiencing pain.
      Also, how are you supposed to interpret with 100% certainty that the angry person is "harmless"? Your statement lacks depth and is simply a blanket view in a world full of people who experience emotions on a wide scale and ignores simple concepts like the relationship between the angry person and the empathetic, the situation which caused the anger, the possible ramifications of allowing an angry person to boil further into irrationality, etc.

      A Sith Lord would have to feed off of fear as well as anger, look at animals they live off of fear of constantly changing and staying active physically meaning that they rarely seem to go mad. fear means you are engaged instead of disengaged with your surroundings, Lion fear being outnumbered by Hyenas, 3 lions attacked a Hyena bruised it a bit then it called back up, and the 3 lions were eating a lot of food with the rest of the lion pride aka 10 lions eating, Hyena had a pack animal group of like 20+ Hyenas the lions ran fear of being over run.

    I’ve noticed that when I act on anger, my choices I have the courage to make the difficult decisions that would be harder to come by if I was in a happy state. Happiness clouds my judgement and makes me optimistic letting my guard down. Anger has been my ally but when I consume too much I can become isolated and bitter.... it has its benefits but also has a big cost as well... So learn to balance it otherwise it will control you.

      @Ligeia D.Aurevilly well, if you bottle up things and give into your raw emotions, you can collect it through several means (ex; someone flips you off in traffic, rude people, being overlooked at work or school despite your hard earned achievements, constant rejection/denial, etc.). After a while it does build up, but there's also "positive anger" which is (from my opinion) when you are just naturally aggressive with competition -- you're angry with your current situation and you won't be satisfied until you improve or achieve your desired outcome, *by making yourself better.* But, it can be very draining after awhile - I don't recommend it as a permanent fix, but rather as a boost for a short-term period.
      Exerting your anger into something positive (such as improving one's own performance to "beat the competition") I think is healthier than exerting it on the current situation (such as the road rage example). This does require self-control and honing your emotions, which not many people have these skills/abilities.

    I used to struggle with my anger so much when I was a teenager and I hurt almost everybody in my life. After fighting people at my school, constantly losing my job, getting depressed and I kept asking myself why nothing is changing... I started reading self help books, philosophy and started writting down Everything that has ever happen to me, every thing that made me sad, happy, angry, depressed... I used thoses memory as a learning lessons and broke down how I got myself in those situations. Having responsibility for every word and action I did that got me where I'm at.

    Anger gives enormous reserves of power, however it gives birth to hatred which is even stronger but toxic to your health. Learning to channel anger into self-improvement is a great starting point. But the ultimate goal should be to master the sub-conscious mind.

  • @gabrielfrostbrand2754

    As with all emotion true mastery over anger is being in control while being angry, not by being in control through trying not to be angry. True strength shows itself being able to allow ones emotions while never being fully overtaken by them, so that there always is the possibility of regulating them or one´s own behaviour.
    Beware of the illusion of control that goes along with an anemic approach to life, which rests upon a facade of modesty, decency and kindness based on (of course only superficial) suppresion of feelings. Such a facade has its flawlessness paid for by the risk of its fragility.
    Only if you have the courage to engage with your dark side by venturing forth into the deepest and darkest parts of your soul, while you be truly able to understand and hopefully also master them.

    Watch out for who is trying to devalue anger or those who show it, because such an attack on anger may be backed up by the knowledge of one´s superiority through the leveragable power of one´s social standing and/or the lack of internal restraints that could normally not be overcome without anger.
    Anger that is openly enough expressed to become socially recognizable and therefore relevant is often the weapon of the powerless and disparaged against the injustice that has been inflicted upon them (or those with whom they empathize) against their oppressors, who have trained themselves out of commiting this fauxpas.
    Put simply: If someone advocates against anger it may be because he has no need for it, or is adept enough at hidng it, while you are in your self defense inclined and forced to make use of it to equalize power.

    To me, anger is often the fuel that pushes us human beings forward and is the power that we have. But if we lose control of that anger it becomes rage, the burning wild fire that is uncontrollable and destroys everything in its path. But it can often be a good thing to have because in a situation were your life or somebody else's life is endangered it can be a focus point in which rage becomes anger.

  • @avi7845

    Every new video is so relevant to the last, I find it amazing how consistently you address the most pertinent questions that arise from previous exploration. It seems you aren't only reading up on this stuff but doing the real work that cultivates the natural wisdom that comes with attending to all that is within oneself. Rage, of all emotions, may be the hardest to be conscious of and maintain containment, it more than other feelings demands action.. Therefore the best thing to do at that point is not act, contain the energy and grow with it out of the paradigm that you and that rage are living on.

    My father had a stroke on my 24th birthday this year while living in Japan, I had to medevac him back to the US, and move all his belongings in a short time. This evening I got word that the storage unit that held all his belongings from the home he once lived in was broken into. All our keepsakes and sentimental belongings torn apart - and the possibility of identify theft looming.
    With news of this came blind and destructive rage which led to holes in my door, and bloody knuckles. Then came misery and angst to the point of where I did not know what to do with myself.
    After some time, and watching this video and your video on the psychology of resilience, I will face these challenges with a different, healthier, and far more self productive mindset.

    Distilled water is pure water with a slight negative charge. Despite this it has an alkalizing effect on the body. When we are distilled mentally in our thinking, being slightly negative in our outlook is realized to be the super position (think Schopenhauer) . Misplaced expectations and a lack of understanding of the Will (force of life) are the obstacles that we must overcome. We must learn the extent of our abilities as they relate to the Will.

    Awesome video, I think it is true how almost everyone has that requirement to hold in their rage and not take advantage of it, in order to avoid being irrational. Instead of doing something with that anger, we shut it out because we don't know how to control it. Barriers become broken and rules don't seem to matter when anger is involved, I think its during those moments when people began thinking outside the box. Anger really is a powerful feeling.

    As expressed in the video, though it is the cultural norm to suppress and be as kind as possible to others, I also find it important to be accepting towards myself and be less rejecting towards the anger within me.
    Instead of giving negative energy to the already negative feeling, it is time to put some positive energy into this emotion.

      - Neglected desire finally leads to desperate outbursts ("anger")
      Here, suffering comes from behaving as if you are not powerful and worthy enough to realize your desires, not from the explosion to try to save your desires.

    if your anger is chained the day it finds the way out of you your brain cant conteol it even if you want to,

    Having Samuel L. Jackson play a jedi master in the star wars prequels felt a bit strange to me. Jedi are supposed to embody the qualities of calm and order, but he, as an actor, usually plays overly loud and aggressive characters. Angry characters. So it didn't make sense. Until I found some of the lore.
    Mace Windu is a jedi that uses both sides of the force. Even his lightsabre is a combination of blue and red. So we have a character who is both orderly and chaotic, and calm and angry. But he doesn't let it control him like Anakin. Infact I think the two characters represent the two outcomes of anger very well: The ability to posses almost unlimited will and a drive to make a change, or to sink into hate and let it consume until you become spiteful, in your self afflicted belief that you are powerless to make that change.

    I disagree with using the word and concept "destruction". True progress is about "transcending" building on older thought patterns yet still keeping the important base concept in mind. Read Ken Wilber on integral theory.

      You have to destroy the ego to find the true self . Phonex burns up then ries from ashes

      @@jessicalee-botes1107 i don't think this video was going for all the no self buddhism stuff. can't say i'm too keen on the "destruction" part myself. this video could definitely do with some clearing up. a bit too short for a topic like anger

    amazing how true this is. Anger was a big part of my life and it was incredibly hard to control it. It is still hard today
