Via Daily Dharma: Lose Your Self
Anger
is considered a poison when it’s self-motivated and self-centered. But
take that attachment to the self out of anger and the same emotion
becomes the fierce energy of determination, which is a very positive
force … Drop the self-orientation from ignorance, and it becomes a state
of unknowing that allows new things to rise.
