i am the angriest person i know. years ago i realized that nothing was going to make the anger go away and something had to be done. that was when i developed the concept of zen rage (no it isn't really new i suppose, but it was to me at the time). swallow the anger and hurt and hide it away, it can be a source of intense power. yes, it is highly destructive and it has a tendency to eat you up; but the alternatives are worse.
it's quite fulfilling to be able to control what would otherwise be wasted emotions. of course, the whole concept is beside the point if you can find the cause of your anger and put an end to it. my problem, one of many, was that there was no cause, so i took this route.
