Anger Is My Favorite Emotion

And I regularly express it.

I’ve always had a difficult time managing my emotions, especially anger. When I’m angry, it feels as though my body and mind take some sort of devilish shape, an unbalanced equilibrium in a state of hyper-awareness.

I’m showered with hot tingles, my adrenaline rushes, and with a throbbing pulse in my head, I feel as though I am limitless.

I have been in therapy for many years,

to seek the underlying cause of my seemingly spontaneous outbursts of anger. I am aware of the sadness within me.

I agree that my anger is sadness in disguise, my clenched jaw and tense muscles a true cry for help in a world filled with so much hate and evil.

I am a spiritual individual and have worked consistently throughout the years to maintain a relationship with my higher self, or what I refer to as “The Universe.” I am not religious.

I believe there is much evil in the world, all of which stems from feelings of lack and insecurities, amongst other things. I know I have feelings of lack within me, perhaps bred from childhood. I am enamored with the goal of unlearning unknown traumas of the past, and as I heal I use anger as a common tool to guide me.

I ponder that evil must exist to maintain the balance of the cosmos and to assert manifested vibrations into the physical realm on earth. I value anger as potentially the most vital emotion, one used to ignite change and let it soar.

I choose anger.

I am aware of this and refuse to be complicit and stay silent when exposed to injustices. I believe we are capable of choosing all of our emotions, but most of the time we subconsciously choose them.

Just because I choose anger doesn’t mean I am angry at the world, one to wear a long face and think “woe is me.” I am known to express ample amounts of happiness, gratitude, lust, joy, and especially love. But I will never fear anger and I will never stop being angry.

I embrace anger though at times it can be morbidly unpleasant.

If I am unable to appreciate the richness of all emotions, good or ugly, how can I truly let myself live? It helps me to feel more human and embrace the boldness and uncertainty of life, in accordance with all of the emotions I could ever possibly experience.

Nature does not discriminate

If I have learned anything over the years, and especially now as a pandemic rolls over us like a cold front, it is that.

That Disease grows without reason, perhaps due to some karmic debt we all owe whether we are expressers of anger or not. I believe that anger is necessary to maintain balance in the constant energetic exchange of life.

Anger must come out. It must be transmuted or channeled into something. It has to go somewhere. It cannot stay.

Sometimes it cannot be soothed. For some, it may be constant. It may breed disease or despair or hate or death. It may channel violence towards oneself or others.

Or it may disrupt a hateful vision, a cult, or a mission against a group. It may provide the ammunition necessary to make a change that would benefit individuals from all walks of life and change history.

Being angry could save lives. Anger could save us from wasting a life of unlimited potential.

Anger is seen as an emotion we want to rid ourselves of. But why?

Anger is a powerful, beautiful thing, and can be used rationally and appropriately to overthrow many injustices in the world.

I’ve witnessed public figures and numerous movements on a large spectrum of important humanitarian issues re-directed into positive, lasting change — through the expression of anger.

Anger can be fueled by passion and passion is what breeds growth, success, prosperity, and happiness.

When change is so desperately needed in a world like it is now, why not get our point across through anger? It has the potential to build character. Anger allows us to express ourselves truthfully and humbly, without sugarcoating crises.

It devotes a sense of urgency to the message and draws attention to the movement.

Being angry doesn’t mean you have to yell or scream

or act barbarically and irrational. Showing anger has nothing to do with physical manipulations or causing pain to others. Anger doesn’t need to include fear, dominance, scarcity, and ownership. We have just been raised in a society that associates the feeling with such.

Anger can be used as a tool to lead in unity toward accomplishing a common goal that will benefit society as a whole, if not targeted to help a specific demographic.

Anger can motivate people to heal others around them and to not give up when the odds are not in their favor. Anger can help people mourn when life sends them through shadowed paths and creates holes in their pockets.

Anger helps us feel love, pain, and see the truth. It guides our intuition and helps us become stronger adults. It makes us better parents, teachers, students, lovers, and friends.

Anger is not a bad thing and can be used for good. Anger is my favorite emotion and has helped dampen the societal yearning for a utopian society — one that I wouldn’t dream of trading for the life I live.

Stay angry.

Best,
