You know…I have a sort of biological “take” on flashes of anger…
I think it might be related to the human/animals fight or flight response; even it if is the most intellectually based “upset”.
I actually came to this understanding through, as a Jedi Online Newbie, considering the Jedi Code. “There is no emotion, there is peace”. I dwelled on that line for some time! LOL…. Then I realized there really is no emotion but for what we create in our own minds and bodies…I suppose one might consider weather appearing “angry” but I dunno…I think it’s pretty scientifically based.
Now I consider that “Jolt!” of anger I feel, and realize something has really bothered me. That feeling makes me stop, and if I’m with-it enough, I began some light meditative deep breathing and work into what it all means. It’s often NOT what I think is making me angry…
But then you know there is “hurt” anger…and that is a bit different? I find that harder to deal with because I know it’s someone who has probably purposely decided to “hurt” me….and that is where I’m still working through it. It’s not as biological for me…it’s more really wondering why? Sometimes there is no rational answer….
Ah…but that is my struggle.
Just thought I’d add my two cents…
