Via Daily Dharma / Anger and Fear
It’s
important to note that anger is a form of fear. Someone does something,
and suddenly the mind feels ungrounded and reacts with anger, trying to
reestablish a firm ground by reaffirming one’s narrow sense of self.
Anger’s aim is to establish safety in that deluded way.
