Is Anger A weakness?

It is if you don't have a hold of it or a way to express it. Since I started learning to fight and sparring recently, I've unlocked more of my anger but it comes out in a healthy way that has some catharsis. I've also done the shadow work in therapy to be able to recognise and respect my anger as a valid and positive aspect of myself.

Society puts down anger and supresses it without offering a healthy release for it. This is creating internalised anger in people and with a healthy expression of that it can be helpful like it's meant to be. We're made to feel shame when we feel angry, which makes us even more angry.

The key to take away is that supressed emotion coming out into the world is like an untamed animal that doesn't function in society, it will express itself like that. Getting in touch with and incorporating that aspect of ourselves will allow us to intergrate it in ourselves and have control and the enrichment of that in our lives.
