@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt I had to go to years of therapy to learn that society adds moral weight to emotions the same way it does to food. Cake is a sin, Salad is for saints. We are trained to see emotions like sadness and anger as "Bad" as "Sins" when what they are trying to communicate is important.

Anger is the emotion that says we have been wronged and being placid and treating it as "Bad" or "I shouldn't feel this way" will not fix the issue. I was also trained to use the energy from those higher emotions to improve my life. Anger's energy should be used to address the source of the anger. Constructively if possible but only if the situation is actually worth it to your life and your happiness to salvage. Otherwise it's better to excise the source of that anger, but still use the energy from it.
