Anyone else starting to like their rage episodes they get on DMSI?

Lol just got my first one last night. Was seriously not a fun time. Got in a horrible facebook fight with a long lost facebook friend and made a total fool of myself in public lmao

I can't speak for you or anyone else on this board, but I personally think I do have a lot of really pent up rage and aggression, but I was just always abused by parents and by bullies so much that I think I associate that type of vitriolic or volatile state as something that can be only harmful--but one of the best books I've read on defining masculinity in the 21st century talks about how positive anger can be as fuel for engaging with women... it just has to be fueled in the right way, and not in a harmful/dangerous way. Perhaps by bringing more of our deeply suppressed angers and hatreds to the surface, it is either removing them entirely from our subconscious, and we're just trying to fight, or it is bringing up a generalized sense of buried anger as a way of turning it into a positive, fiery, passionate and sexually "aggressive" energy, but our subconscious minds just feel the anger and it channels itself in old/buried/familiar patterns.
