Mr. Einzelgänger Can I just say I think of you as a true friend. I have learned so many things from your videos and I find myself applying them to my life and I love the changes that are being made. For that I say thank you my friend. Keep on being amazing brother

[@zisischartampilas6601]

anger can be natural and not natural it depends on the situation most of the time we get angry is anatural it makes your reasoning fade and just general destruction in everything but there is another form of anger is when you get angry at the sight of your people your "brother" beeing manipulated or get unfair treatment by others then you MUST get angry and stand up for them thats the natural anger and its nececary in our world but it should only come when youre able to do something about it otherwise its useless and will cause only problems to you not having anger at all is problematic as having the bad kind of anger it could be a sing of you not loving anyone beeing completely souless a sosiopath or things like that

Anger is one of those emotions which we cannot get rid off but can transform. I do the following when I get angry: 1. Turn my focus to my breathing 2. Meditate on the feeling of discomfort 3. Create a delay in response time, by counting to 20 4. Remind myself that anger makes one loose 50% of his/her power and reduces ability to take logical decision.

[@ShubhamKainthola03]

@@MBUOffical As per my understanding, Anger can be defined as an impulsive and destructive emotional outburst which comes when either of the following happens: 1. Person or situation doesn't turn out to be as we expected or desired. 2. Some disrespects our core beliefs ( religion, ideology, etc ) or a person whom we love . I do come accross such situations now & then, but It doesnt angry me, perhaps I focus on how to find the middle ground rather than shouting, fighting or arguing to prove my point . But I also agree with you that in situations where someone disrespects my parents or family, It is extremely difficult to stay sane but then I read a quote somewhere, "the most dangerous warriors are not the once who are angry but are calm with head full of clarity on how to defeat their opponents"

“Although you may spend your life killing, you will not exhaust all your foes. But if you quell your own anger, your real enemy will be slain” - Nagarjuna

[@devilsoffspring5519]

That's a nice saying, but rage is there to protect you when nothing else will, by driving you to kill whoever is committing an act of injustice against you. That's also why humans are capable of the approach to life known as live-and-let-live.

[@BusterDarcy]

Through therapy I was able to recognize that my anger problem was rooted in self criticism - I would get angry at my mistakes, no matter how small, because they were a sign I wasn’t good enough, and I would get angry at situations that were out of my control because of the fact that I could not control them, again because I wasn’t good enough. Letting that self criticism go, accepting that it’s normal and ok to make mistakes and that I can’t expect to have control over what others do or say, has opened up a whole new world for me. I’ve found my calm and my patience and my perspective is so much more open and free now. It’s been life changing.

Man, I can relate. The self-critic can be absolutely monstrous! Good that you've let that go.

[@johngeiger3770]

At the end of the day, no amount of philosophy and spirituality will prevent anger if we ignore few immediate physical factors like diet habit and lifestyle. For example, instead of constantly shoving our mouth with food or even eating our timely regular meals everyday, it helps to calm not just anger but all emotions when we practice fasting. Another great anger reducing method is exercise. Tire your body in the morning. You'll still feel the emotions but it's not as powerful as it was before you were without exercise. These spiritual leaders like Dalai Lama all have some fasting routines and do not eat as much than necessary and they also practice meditation and occupy themselves with studies and preaching. These practical steps help these individuals a great deal in calming their emotions besides philosophy which shows the why of it.

[@Cyberwar101]

All anger is inherently destructive. Channeling the anger makes it easier to be angry at certain stimuli. You are rewarding your brain every time you accept that anger, and teaching it to rewire itself to be more angry. The only way to win is not to play. Deprive the fire of anger its fuel and it will stop to burn and smolder. Deprive the brain of its dopamine from anger, and you break the anger/reward cycle.

Unhappiness and frustration can lead to anger unfortunately, unless you find a way to redirect that negative energy into something positive

[@alexkhouri]

I just can’t agree that anger isn’t useful. Every emotion is useful once you feel why it started, its origins and causes. The usefulness of any emotion is understanding oneself.

[@relicojustice2623]

Exactly. I feel everyone would also be a lot happier if they didn’t place emotions into categories like exclusively positive and negative. Yes everyone wants happiness, yes too much anger/sadness is bad, but we have them for a reason and feeling guilty for feeling the ones deemed as bad will only make the shadow grow darker.

[@kittywampusdrums4963]

It's very useful but you're right it's about seeing the nature of it really as well as our selves. You might like where I ended up it's a tradition called Drukama check it out.

[@brendangolledge8312]

I view anger as the realization that someone is doing deliberate harm to something you care about. So I don't see that it is a problem in the case where someone is physically attacking you. It is appropriate to respond with unreasoning violence in that case. I understand that anger will get in the way of fighting for people who have trained, but I suppose perhaps the feeling of anger is much older than martial arts. I would guess that if two untrained people got in a fight who were equal in all respects but one was angrier, probably the angry person would win. I can see however that we often imagine that things are very harmful to us and we get angry about them when they are not really so harmful.

[@jeremiahb8601]

You can transmute the anger into something more useful. The anger by its self is harmful. Just like a wild explosion, but if contained that explosion in a cylinder is what gives us the ability to drive.

J Butt'a the explosion itself may be harmful depending on each situation, bur anger in itself isn’t necessarily bad.

Anger is nothing but a hindrance. It occupies your mind and has a tendency to be self-reinforcing. You'll only use a fraction of your mental capacities when you are prone to anger!

[@PracticalInspiration]

Great share, love how you brought Eastern and Western philosophy together. One method that I find really helps is a form of detachment, by taking a moment to observe thoughts when angry without acting on them to eventually let them go. Similar to counting to 10, it goes with the Buddhist idea that as time passes the universe changes.

[@ash8207]

We all feel anger. That is undeniable. How we choose to control & handle it makes the difference. Anger could be momentarily useful, as in an instance of defending yourself or a loved one. But one must eventually let it go & get rid of its toxic negativity, otherwise it becomes unpredictably dangerous & self-destructive. Even the most righteous anger can quickly morph out of control & cause great harm.

[@BobsYerUncle_GT]

I struggle with some mental health issues but a huge problem of mine is explosive angry tempers. Likely to be triggered by very little at all especially when going through periods of depression and stress. Kids at school used to rile me up on purpose because I could very quickly lash out and scream and throw things, that was fun for them to see, I guess. 33 and its affected relationships, friendships and I feel like is destroying my life. There is no counting to ten when this happens to me. It builds up to an explosive outburst before I realise the anger has already consumed me. I'd have to go into another room and let it all out. I went to the doctor again trying to seek help for this amongst other things, and then we had covid upon us so hopefully I'll be able to get sorted with some therapy or treatment soon. Very common also for me after a violent temper (especially if someone bears witness and quite frankly can be frightening to be around) to immediately feel unbearable guilt and I'll blubber and wail and feel extremely suicidal from the guilt. Like the story of how the nails being taken out of the fence still leave holes, I know the damage my anger does. I'm sick and tired of it. I don't know if mindfulness and meditation can help, I'll try anything. Thank you for this video.

Part of the reason I get angry is PRECISELY bc I try to talk , explain, reason etc and it purposefully gets ignored, belittled etc. Then when I loose my patience I get blamed for their discomfort and I get their “hot” or “cold” anger. It’s an unfair cycle. Something is missing in this stoicism. It’s too easy to just overlook the origin story.

[@pooscifer]

YES 100% - I think a lot of feminist philosophers also emphasize the importance of anger because ignoring women's reasoning and boundaries and standards is a pretty pervasive cultural norm. I think oppressed people often also can repress reason in order to remain conflict-free in oppressive circumstances, but it's much harder repressing anger.

That is why I now walk away when reason fails to change the situation. I walk away because I no longer wish to keep drinking the poison of my hatred. It is there, it is always there.
