hi steve, my peaceful friend   
there's something unresolved in me to speak on the subject, but i feel you can never completely escape anger
and maybe there are some things that merit an invocation in emotion. i could be wrong... to be angry and to act in anger are two different things i suppose.

hey 'oddey' u make me happy... just to hear from u.

Thanks for the reply. I think you have a good point... to be angry (or have an invocation of emotion.) and to act in anger. We have to be careful about what we direct inward as well as outward.

We can eliminate anger from our behavior patterns though... with a lot of meditation and detached observation. We just think we are these emotions and bodies moving around. The more we meditate, the more we realize that it was just an illusion. Only a frame of reference - these bodies thoughts and emotions... just a lot of desire manifesting in bodies. When those desires are denied we become irritated... we can become angry if we are not careful and observant.
