The useless emotion: Anger
Now you may be thinking that I am insane but, I assure you I am not. Anger is useless few reasons why.
- It blinds you causing you to screw everything up
- It is not good for fighting
- It turns you destructive and very unproductive.
- You turn stupid and you do not listen to reason
The most popular misconception is that anger helps you in exercises. It doesn’t, you feel like you are working harder but you are actually burning your mind. If your mind is burnt out, your body will follow suit.
Another misconception is that anger is great for fighting. No it is not. When you are angry (As many martial arts trainers will tell you) Your aggressiveness leaves you unprotected and volatile and applying the previous point; you are burning out your mind and you only think about what you can do to your opponent but not how he can fuck you up. You are blinded and stuck in the mentality that you are invisible but you are not.
It turns you unproductive. When you are pissed off you can break everything you touch so you sit down angry waiting to calm down. Why not breathe and meditate and calm down instead of waiting to cool off or taking it on your objects or punching a wall?
When you are pissed off you automatically set a barrier down which tells others to avoid talking to you because your response will not be a good one right? What if the person that is trying to talk to you is actually right and you are wrong? The last thing you want is people to talk to you when you are angry.
Anger and debating: This one is my favorite. To all you debaters; you know that the procedure is to attack your opponent’s argument and not him as a person. When you are angry you can say hurtful
things such as: “You are an idiot” or “you are retarded” or attack his belief system “you don’t use logic because you are religious” One of the easiest ways to win a debate is to anger your opponent causing him to be less and less rational and turn the debate into an argument. When a person is angered he automatically lost the debate because it is no longer about logic or education, it turns into raw emotion. Emotions are not to be trusted on intellectual debates as you are volatile and unreliable, plus it clouds your mind. The key is to be fully emotionally detached from any topics. If a topic is known to get you angry or sad it is wide to avoid it.
We all get angry but, it is wise to control it and not use it as a motivating factor for any endeavor.

I honestly believe that Anger is our primitive way of solving problems. Now that we are more evolved we don't need it. The only problem to loosing it is us, we hang onto Anger.

Anger does not solve problems. It's just a feeling.
Anger is natural. Therefore, we hang onto it.

It's one of our basic instincts but, one of the most volatile and damaging, not only to us but to everybody around us.

I think anger definitely has a place in today's society, but is used/exerted way too often and under the wrong circumstances. I think anger can be a great motivator. Disappointment can lead to becoming internally angry but if channeled correctly, can produce some very effective results.
The same applies for seeking revenge. While seeking revenge in most cases isn't beneficial, there is a place for it and anger can be a great motivator.
When it comes to fighting, I think anger has a place. I'd rather go into a fight infuriated at my enemy rather than taking a hesitant approach. That said, the best approach would be one where you are composed and can channel anger/aggression in a timely manner.
Howeve in most instances, becoming angry will make you seem foolish or childish. The wise and intelligent man usually has a better way of reacting.

No, when you are fighting anger does not benefit you in anyway. Why make the first move when you can wait for your opponent to do it and counter it? The first moves always defines what kind of approach he takes and to see if he has any form or knowledge on fighting. You just want to jump on it but, if your opponent knows how to fight you are most likely screwed in great ways.

When I said anger has a place in fighting, I didn't mean you should instigate the fight. You should never ever instigate a physic fight IMO.
When all you're feeling is pure anger, you don't feel any physical pain. You're possessed by hatred. You naturally utilise more fast twitch muscle fibres due to the adrenaline. This said, I agree that taking a more passive and tactical approach will be beneficial in most cases.

It gives you drive as much as it's pointless, although it's a fiction movie, you definitely wouldn't want Liam Neeson hunting you down like within the movie Taken. He knew how to get things done while being pissed trying to get his daughter, and in that sense it can still be a useful emotion.

I understand what you are saying but, regardless you feel pain or not due to hatred and adrenaline you can still get knocked the fuck out and when you are angry the last thing you want to do is stop to take cover. Then again if both fighters are angry and have adrenaline rush that will not be a fight but a full angry mess.

LMAO I am talking about real anger and not Hollywood anger. Shit if it were for that then remember Rambo? He was angry and ran with a 50. Caliber sniper while shooting it.

Well as fake as the anger was in that movie, it can be put into real life situations..I'm just saying some angry people know how to use it correctly, and get things done right.
