Anger 2

Which is the greatest power for change? The world looks different now compared to only 200 years ago, and which are the causes that made it better?
There are two alternative powers, anger and equanimity. Equanimity is the quiet analysis.
Anger has been tried, in wars, and in the organised social conflict between capital and workers. Equanimity has also been tried, in the millions of minds trying to make things better, from cleaning the home to building space telescopes.
We have a romantic idea that anger is the best.
It might be different for different persons. If we can use equanimity - reason - for getting what we want we do that and there is no trouble.
If someone can not use argument, the raw will to change might manifest as anger. Eventually it will be organised within equanimity.
Anger is a spontaneous reactions in mind. When it is there it is a reality. But that does not make it justified or constructive.
Dealing with anger is not an easy task, however.
