Emotions are signals for course of action. If we would become angry if someone hit us in the face and be non-reactive and not thinking it’s a big thing, then we would fool ourself and shy away. Either you hit back or you leave that person from your life. Without anger there isn’t a fuel for that action. That’s one type of anger. The other one where you are angry at someone for no specific reason like that their way of eating, that unnecessary anger that’s just going to fuel conflicts that’s not have to happen without it. But I would say that anger arised from when someone crosses your boundaries is healthy anger.
My dad become a successful entrepreneur partly because he was angry at how bad things were done at the company he worked at so he quit and made a better competitor.
The French Revolution happened because people were treated as shit and they decided that they wanted a change because they were angry.
how isn’t anger a needed emotion for propelling change that need to happen because other people are self righteous/ignorant/just assh*les? I get what you are saying related to unmanaged anger but to shy away from the emotion altogether and the reason for you feeling it would be detrimental to your r own self empowering abilities to change your circumstances.
