Fear of anger (!)

Hi Judy, Hi everyone, Thanks for clarifying some of what feels more
like intuition that anything else. Yes, perhaps that there is complexe
and simple anger, false and true anger and that this accounts for
ones degree of acceptance of it. One is short lived and straight to the
point, the other an endless lacking rant. The disseration that you mention
also was really interesting to me. Thank you. Somehow, I feel less
speechless to describe, but perhaps still without clear understanding
(and with my fear of one kind of anger!)

PS. In connection to the questions that Jay raised about engaged action. I
read an article (in the French press again) a while back which was an
interview by S.Rushdi and some other French new philsopher. They
asked when "violent engagement" becomes "right" and were referring to
the Spanish Civil War where many French intellectuals actually went to
war. For those that cannot hold even a pair of scissors in their hands,
the question is likely odd, but I suppose that one could ask what
may have happened without historical engagements against faschims of all
kinds...
