i’m reminded of how in the ten noble precepts, the ethical principles of buddhism, the only emotion mentioned is anger: “i vow not to unleash it but seek its source”
i used to have a lot of issues with anger, particularly seething, keeping it clamped down but also taking it out passive-aggressively.
i still deal with anger but now i sit with it as an important messenger. anger tells me that something is wrong but i can express it wisely, if at all
we all need mars. in a world like this especially, we all need anger. it tells us something hurt us or violates our principles.
i gather that to work productively with mars you have to be able to sit with, shape and temper your anger, being cautious and focused as you go
