Try to hit me or kill me. You'll be sorry and watch me do it with a smile on my face either way. Sometimes fools need to be taught a lesson. I might even let you hit me just so that I can mop the floor with you instead of a single blow.

in case the OP is still checking in ... ?
other considerations involve some subtle differences, in our internal processing:
1) First level Knowing the differences between feelings and thoughts, and action
2) the 2nd level how we feel about what we think how we think about what we feel how we feel about what we feel how we think about what we think
3) Whether we identify: 'I am having an angry feeling(s) / fantasies' vs 'I AM an angry person'
4th level) Do negative thoughts and feelings, about those emotions we find unacceptable or scary in ourselves, solidify into judgements about ourselves?
to summarize: If we know all thoughts and emotions are normal, and that we never have to act upon them, then we don't have to resist them. And it is resisting that keeps them active.
In popular culture, in the movie 'the 5th element', this is portrayed as part of the plot.
There is also much psychological info and buddhist info that goes into details on all these aspects.
When strong emotion arises, that surprises us with it's intensity, and is out of our previous range of who we think we are it can easily feel scary. Hence the value of understanding the dynamics of human emotions, identification, resistance, & judgement.
Then we can create (perhaps with guidance at first) an allowing non-judgmental space within to experience feelings as they arise, change, and dissipate.

Can we at least call LRG a C minus?

The Abdhidhamma goes into what Laughing Dog was referring to.
Buddhism teaches psychology without a psyche. And the Abdhidhamma microscopically analyzes both matter and mind which constitute the complex organic machinery that is man.
Its truly a master teaching, and it is huge, enormous, a compendium of knowledge and reproducible, consistent observations in thoughts, thought-processes, and mental states (which in this field, includes contact, and feelings.) It defines Consciousness and all its shapes and thoughts are analyzed and mainly classified from an ethical stand point.

Really interesting way to put it!
I'm going to think about that for a bit.
What does that mean to you?

As for my take, I dont find it skillful to take what are only the aggregrates or raw material of what is used to create a sense of self, to be the self.

And yet, it seems natural to do this until one has an experience that causes one to question it.

I've heard teachers say, "You have to loose yourself to find your self."
