One of the most famous quotes that I can think of that pertains to anger is from the Christian Bible.

"In your anger, do not sin."

This book describes sin as anything that is contrary to what God, the supreme being if you will, says is wrong. Actually, most of this sin lines up with the average moral compass: Stealing, lying, cheating, killing, sexual relations outside of marriage, envy, and many more.

Human beings instinctively know that this type of stuff is wrong, or causes guilt, right?

So, Anger.

Anger in it of itself is not considered a sin, but call easily lead to all of it. If someone is angry with someone they can go into a blind rage and strangle that person to death. This is murder. Someone could feel angry at someone else and get their vengeance by stealing their favorite toy, or simply destroying it. This is envy, stealing, and destroying of property.

Now, I'm not saying that everything in the Bible is true, but it's just…it seems to fit very well to me.

Anger is synonymous with rage. Rage is an emotion that is blinding.

When you say to someone, "They just make me so angry." You are already wrong.

No one can 'make' someone else be angry. Anger is a choice, a reaction, that you are completely in control of. If you don't want to be angry, then don't.

I probably make it sound so simple right now, but once you realize that you, and not someone else, is in charge of your emotions, then it is like lifting the veil from in front of your eyes. Wiping the windshield with the wipers in a heavy rainfall.

If I told you that right now, I'm probably 'causing' you to feel something, what would you say? Probably something about how I am contradicting myself, right?

No.

The best I can do is incite the beginnings of emotions. I can say something that I believe will affect you. Like, say that you were an abuse victim or something. If I allude to someone else being in a similar situation, chances are that it will remind you of your situation and what you felt about it. Anger, sympathy, fear…

Then, I could manipulate your emotions, but I can never cause them.

Remember that next time you get angry, you idiot.

…I forgot I was using pen again.

I really need to start using pencil. 'Cause this rant was supposed to be about anger and not emotions in general or really direct this to Mello.

I have come to the conclusion that I actually do feel some anger at him for the 'leg incident' as it is now dubbed…

…Idiot…
