‘In the fog’, lost, so lost.
Are you an angry person, Orbie?
Are you legit?
Or is this another staged vid?
Attending Anger Management course. Give me some detail.
Which is not unreasonable as you present this as a personal case.
You mean scripted?
No, it’s impromptu and legit.
Details I can share with you via PM.
I presume it was a court order.
I dunno Erik, it sounds like to me, you just want another person to agree with you and to confirm that you are justified for venting your anger.
Things do not go well when you are struggling with anger and left unchecked will only build up any emotional issues you may have.
No, I acknowledge that I was in error for how I expressed my anger.
My contention is with the philosophy of the anger management group itself, how they just simplistically explain away one’s anger
and how they demonize it. Instead of really addressing the issues, they have us do these infantile group-talk sessions delineating the obvious.
It solves nothing.
You do know that you can love yourself too much don’t you?
I think it would do you the world of good to spend a few days in a prison to so that some 7ft crim can knock some of that shit out of you - or should I say so he can pack some of that shit back up your arse. Because you are so full of yourself.
“Anger” is not “deified” in ancient Greece.
Sing goddess of the rage of Achilleus? It might have escaped your attention but the whole fucking book is about his idiotic hybris and how he get’s fucked up by his own pride and arrogance. Your ‘heel’ is that you think you are better than others around you.
Did you even read past the first page?
Fuck did you even read past the first line???
“…the accursed rage that brought great suffering to the Achaeans.”
Think it over!
I don’t think so, I am just too impatient, can’t wait. BUT I DON’T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT FOR. ACTUALLY NOTHING REALLY HAPPENS.
I don’t know that’s worth getting angry about.
Lev,
good and bad things came about due to the rage of Achilles.
Initially, Achilles’ anger was directed towards Agamemnon, over a petty feud. But it was later focused on Hektor and the Trojans,
subsequent to the death of Patroklus; a righteous anger worthy of being kept burning.
Good and bad can come about from extreme anger.
Achilles managed to slaughter the Trojans and their best man, like it was a cake-walk;
he was fueled by rage.
If you have even a basic understanding of ancient Greece, or ancient warfare for that matter, then you would
know that anger was the gem of the warrior.
Warrior cultures see the value in anger; dastardly eras, like modernity, are intimidated by such masculine energy.
More to the point, the anger of Achilles was seen as a divine force, with positive and negative outcomes, that was worthy of being sung by
the Muses for its influence in the Trojan war.

Look up something called “Thumos”. It explains how the Greeks valued the positivity of anger,
Also, bad and evil are not identical terms.
When I say anger can be good and bad, what I mean to say is that it can be either self-productive or self-destructive.
When I say that modernity views anger as evil, I mean to say that it’s seen as inherently sinister, something morbid that should be done away with entirely.
“See no evil”, as they say.
But you guys can’t expect some libtard troll, like Lev Muiskin, to understand any of this.
He isn’t here to have a genuine dialogue; he is just here to troll, like the puerile idiot he is.

There is nothing of value in anger that is incapable of being controlled or restrained. Sometimes we have to have ‘Warrior’ courage to ask ourselves with honesty, ‘what am I not facing in my life’.
Lev is giving you advice from a male’s perspective, which perhaps is lacking in your life. Surrounded by too many female carers sometimes has a destructive influence on a male child.
Toughen up.
I agree with Lev.
That’s what I’m saying.
Controlled anger can be sublimated, thus anger is not some absolutely negative emotion.
Lev is clearly trolling, like he always does.
Just take a look at the mess he left in Jakob’s thread " Philosopher clan ".
Frankly, I think Jakob has lost the plot somewhat.
Lev asked the question, I was thinking,

But your anger is not controlled.
Frankly, I think you have lost your marbles somewhat.
Why is that?
Because you are denying the blatant obviousness of Lev’s obnoxious behavior.
You are trolling yourself, not entirely; but somewhat.
I don’t wish to divert from this thread, but I don’t see Lev’s remarks as being obnoxious.
Jakob’s spiel was bordering on nonsensical and it appears that any person who disagrees or points out the obvious is now destined to be labelled a troll.
