Introduction
Anger certainly exists by itself as an ego in its own right.
Even though it exists by itself it works always in conjunction with other egos
such as pride, fear, self-love, self-compassion, lust, laziness etc.
What is interesting is that within some of the egos that
anger works with, there is some anger. This is because the qualities of the
essence that are trapped in these egos such as pride, fear, self-love, lust
etc. contain some force.
Force in Pride
Pride being conditioned dignity, majesty and balance of our
essence, certainly there is force inherent in each of these qualities. In love
there is force, the force of love is tremendous, which is what the egos of
self-love and lust trap or condition. There is also force in trust, which is
the quality of the essence that being conditioned becomes fear.
Can be Confusing
I wrote this post because sometimes it gets confusing when
working on pride and anger. The protest that pride has are always very forceful
and strong and so one may think that this force is coming from anger. In most
cases it does and it also comes from the force that within pride.
If we observe all the very pride people over the centuries
such as Napoleon, Hitler, Margaret Thatcher, you will certainly see that they
were forceful and had a very strong will. This is because there is force and will
in pride, and of course they could have also used their amount of will and
force that was not conditioned by the ego.
Conclusion
Basically we have to work the anger within the ego just as
we work on anger itself. They both obey the same principle and can be dissolved
using the same methods or antidotes.
