How to deal with Anger.
    #6022030 -

" We human beings are Homo Hostilus, the hostile species, the enemy-making animal.
We are driven to fabricate an enemy as a scapegoat to bear the burden of our denied enmity."

-Sam Keen

Fuck this thread.  I hate threads like this; they're stupid, biased, ignorant, and they're what's wrong with the world.

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Remember that only your sense of importance can cause this waste of energy.

"A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

Me and my mum seem to be having angry arguments every few hours over the last couple of days. She is really clean and tidy and organized and hates how I live, she was cleaning out my old shit and sold all my Xbox games for £1.50 each ($2.50?). I was instantly furious but I have not played them for years and probably never would have again. She helps me out a lot with money and setting myself up and I need to show her more respect. I think it was just the price! those games set me back some coinage and I had some good times, oh Halo and Halo 2 how I miss thee. :rolleyes: In summary, anger bad! makes you look like an unreasonable dick.

Anger is not "bad". If anything the denial of anger is "bad".

I know, but if you lose your temper everytime something pisses you off, some self control is a good thing.

Homo Hostilus?

Ha Ha.

OK people make up enemies to hate because they don't want to deal with their enmity (whatever the fuck that means god that is a dumb word) all on their own. So what, sue me.

You know what pisses me off, smart ass writers who pen some shit about Homo Hostilus as if it is a new species and then use some fancy shmancy word like enmity that I don't use and don't know any one who does.

Well hey Sam I am not Keen on it. In fact, I am feeling enmity right now and you are the scapegoat.

Whew, I feel better already. Sigh...

Making anger get bigger is bad, though sometimes I can't help myself and that's what I do, which is a pain in the ass of course.
But most of times, depending on the circumstance, I find a way to get rid of it without giving it back to the person who provoked it. Still, there are people who seem to only make me angry so there's obviously something wrong with the entire relationship, and to the ones I know they'd understand I just tell them them, to the others its better to just avoid them.
There are clearly so many other things that worth my times and energy then anger.

All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

Nice quote, and yes it is basically saying that mankind creates its own enemies out of nothing to make up for the anger were not "supposed" to have in our society. Somethin along those lines I beleive. Ide get more into it, but I just woke up, I need a cup of tea and a person to beat up.

I like to get jacked on coffee and go out and boot the first person I see on the street. Just walk up and kick them hard in the shin without warning. Yell Fucker at the same time casually stroll off as they lay there grasping at their leg.

Honest expression of anger toward the person who provoked it rarely turns to violence. Repressed anger boils and explodes. Honestly relating is key here.
