What “truth” is there to be polished?

-Removed-I would say some people are cut out for it and some should refrain.
I could insight a lot of fear in people (and still do) so I refrain from getting angry. I cant remember once where there was a genuine justification for it. But thats just me.
It is a fundemental human emotion but beneath it lies something more powerful
Originally posted by black beetleAnger is an emotional reaction that is designed via evolution to direct me to immediate action, while bypassing any time consuming deliberative processes. It tells me to bypass deliberative processes on the basis that they take too long and are not needed; my reactions are justified. The actions it directs me to, are conditioned by my previous experiences.
Yes; (technique is important), give anger no swindling chances😵
And what is anger to you, JS357?
😵
This is a brief answer because posting to RHP is very spotty right now and I am not patient enough to look up your post again!
Of course the "it" that tells me these things is part of "me".

Methinks anger promotes nothing, in fact it’s a feeling that keeps one chained by means of staining one's clear mind; if one has to act herenow, let one act herenow and go through it with a free spirit.
It seems to me following Aristotle works, too (if one has to be angry, one has to be angry at the right time, at the right condition, at the right level and against the right person)
😵
Originally posted by black beetleit seems to me that it would be rather remarkable that prior conditioning would result in one's being "angry at the right time, at the right condition, at the right level and against the right person" in every case of anger as opposed to being angry at not the right time, or at not the right condition, or at not the right level ]or at not the right person.

Originally posted by black beetleI am thinking that some of our actions are interpreted as the emotion anger while it may be clear strong mirroring, without any seeds of hatred at all. Anger is an emotion. Two people may do the same seemingly "angry" thing, yet the motivation and arising impulse quite different.

I often think "niceness" can chain as much as 'anger' or focussed mirroring. Feeling discomfort, one perhaps moves.

Also, by means of feeling whatever and reacting anyway, one tastes karma😵
