I Am Developing My Own Philosophy
I want to be angry. I want to seethe with rage, I want to burn with it, white hot and furious. I want it to build and fill this vessel with it's boundless energy and purpose. I want my walls of self control to creak and groan under the strain. Feel my fists clench and muscles strain to hold still. To feel my jaw set and teeth grind to hold back the words.
I want it all because at this very moment, balanced on the razors edge between holding firm and lashing out, you are filled with the most potential you will ever have. Anger is a force of pure change. A desire to alter circumstances to better yourself. Be it a primal desire to knock some jerk in the mouth so he'll stop talking, to feeling defeat and a desire to best the competition or witnessing an injustice. These are all examples where we feel the anger well up in us.
We are taught to fear and loath these sensations.
This is flatly wrong.
Anger is a tool. A means to an end. A tool misused or misdirected always has the potential to cause harm. However, this is not representative of it's nature. Even destruction can be used to clear the way for a better creation. It can be the impetus to speak, to work, to perform acts outside the normal bounds of your own conventions. This shattering of boundaries is what opens you up to the myriad of possibilities contained withing yourself. A chance to change what you had not always thought you could.
All we need to do is cease being so afraid of it. Embrace anger and become master of it. So long as you control it, you can direct it's flow to do things you never thought possible.
