[Shower question] Why do we have to fight the urge to do bad things?

The task then is unearthing and freeing that energy of anger which once done will become something different. Might I suggest that the energy that becomes anger begins as passion? Passion when stifled becomes angry, but passion that is free flows in to all the realms of love and beauty and we call this art in all its forms. Maybe expressing your anger through art would help to reveal what is beneath the anger? The anger is not the truth, it is temporary. What is truly there is at the heart of yourself.

Wow, you really hit the nail on the head. The last time that I experienced anger was when I was trying to express something that I was somewhat passionate about. And when I look back, that's how all my anger starts out. My anger is usually felt on a one-to-one basis. I never feel anything like existential anger. At least not often. I'll definitely try those exercises you suggested. Thanks.
