Summary

In this episode, I explore the complexities of anger, responding to a listener's inquiry about managing this often-misunderstood emotion. I begin by discussing how anger operates within social hierarchies, highlighting the contrast in expressions permitted between adults and children. I argue that suppressing anger can lead to vulnerability in manipulative relationships, drawing from personal confrontations with perceived injustices.
Through my experiences, I illustrate how anger serves as an essential alert system, prompting us to address exploitation and maintain integrity. I differentiate between constructive anger, which fosters resolution, and oppressive rage, which stifles dialogue. Finally, I encourage listeners to embrace anger as a catalyst for change and personal growth, emphasizing the value of self-reflection to navigate future conflicts more effectively.
