Hello Nomaste

The Master offers another definition. of anger to the one you mentioned about thwarted desire. It comes from lesson 33 The
Chemistry of Feelings He says that anger is usually awakened when one's own or another's interest is hurt. The chemical combination of violent anger plus self~interest or selfishness causes a psychological explosion ending in hysterics or some dangerous act. Anger plus greed and dissipation makes for recklessness, satiety, and indifference. Anger plus devotion to a
religious cause--if tempered with reason--produces some definite result for good in the world.
