  • Well as it's a way we can express through music, I thought I would throw this one up in here :-

    So I thought I would touch on the subject of "Anger" today and try to evaluate just how much of it we can control or choose to control and how much of it we allow to just be. Ok, from my personal experiences and watching those around me, I tend to notice a pattern of what may make someone blow up in anger, but under the same circumstances but let's say with a different person present, the anger is more controlled to the point it doesn't surface at all. Alright admittedly this person may be fuming like crazy underneath, but they've still managed to control their anger simply because of the present company they're in.

    You see my view is, for someone to say they are an aggressive person with a temper or anger etc etc, then no matter the situation they are in, this anger will surface, be it in the supermarket, at home, in the street, in a church, at a wedding, a funeral etc, if lets say the same scenario that got you angry in a supermarket happened at a wedding, but it was only in the supermarket that you vented your anger with rage etc but not in the case as if you were at a wedding, then the anger is controlled, is it not?

    Also respect, does respect play a part in how one controls anger? Let's say this known angry person is out on the town with friends and something kicks off etc or a situation arises that sets them off, so off they go on an angry mission being all aggressive, abusive and angry. Now lets say you're out having a meal with someone you're trying to impress and hope to date, now if the same situation as before arose etc, would you now kick off in the same way or would you be more reserved, as you did not want this person to see you react in such an angry and violent way?

    I guess I could throw many scenarios and circumstances at you regarding this matter. Maybe you've found yourself in similiar circumstances, where you'll blow up all angry in one situation, but in another situation because you're with a certain someone or even surrounding, you're able to control your anger to the extent you don't blow up as on the previous occassion.

    "Anger" - in the majority of cases is it Controlled or Uncontrolled??????

    Or on the flip side, is it simply a violation of Peace...

    Dalai Lama says "Anger is a sign of weakness and tolerance a sign of strength."

    I think we can control our anger, it's all about changing your perspective. I also think if we project anger, we will receive anger. This goes for all actions, emotions and/or feelings. It's a full circle kind of thing.

    Very sage. But surely a lot of the best music is inspired by the more "negative" emotions?
