In the mandala of emotions, anger belongs to the family of passions, that is, of excesses. Anger and euphoria are sisters; one acts to destroy, the other to build. The flip side of anger is hate. In this case, the hatred originates from an anger that, when weakened, transforms into its opposite. That's why we refer to hate as cold anger.

Anger is the passion of the soul that moves to indignation and anger. Aristotle says: "He who allows himself to be carried away by anger, on certain occasions, against those who deserve it, doing it in addition to the way, at the time and for as long as it is convenient, must deserve our agreement."

Emotions are expressed in a balanced or unbalanced way. This depends on the mode, the occasion and the duration of the emotion. Anger when it is balanced leads to success, but when it is excessive or deficient in action, it leads to failure.
