Anger is my primary affliction. I do a lot of work with Akshobhya. I tried to learn from his example.

I read in India a saying on a t-shirt "You are not punished for you anger you are punished by your anger"

100%. I read something similar in an app I have for cultivating discipline (the app is called Trident Mindset, developed by psychologists with Navy SEALs; the quotation comes from the lesson on Stoicism): *"Anger is the punishment we give ourselves for someone else's screw-up."* *That hit me directly in my soul, it was so incredibly profound.* As someone who grew up in a tumultuous household with an abusive, angry father, I have always used anger to protect myself, to stand up for myself, to make myself heard and my pain known. I've always been so angry. But very recently (within the past couple years), I started realizing it was extremely draining, and I didn't want to be this way -- not to mention it's extremely physically unhealthy! And I saw how miserable my dad and his dad are, both very angry and self-righteous people. So when I read those words about a year ago, I was shocked. I never realized my anger was punishing ME. But it's true. I never felt GOOD after being filled with rage. Even when I didn't feel particularly bad after a bout of anger, I never felt GOOD. After reading those words, it made sense. *"Anger is the punishment we give ourselves for someone else's screw-up. Other people and events cannot make us stressed or unhappy. Only we can make ourselves this way when we choose to become bothered by these things."* (From the Stoicism lesson in the Trident Mindset app, which I highly recommend!)

By labelling it, we already fall into the delusion of believing anger is a negative reality. Just as there a millions of different trees in this world there are millions of different anger. What happens when we see it for what it really is? Compassion? (energy?) without wisdom? (The path of ignorance to Enlightenment?) .
