Anger and negative emotions

Aristotle defines fear as "a pain or disturbance due to a mental picture of some destructive or painful evil in the future," and anger as "an impulse, accompanied by pain, to a conspicuous revenge for a conspicuous slight directed without justification towards what concerns oneself or towards what concerns one's friends.".....

Wthe root for anger? revenge? hatred? frustration? annoyance? hostility? irritation? do they have all have the same root? or are they rooted differently? do they differ only in their degree of the negative energy within? is not jealousy and the characteristics of Homo Economicus (self centered, self conceited being of self, the homo sapiens) rooted in here too?

Aristotle seems to indicate that they are, that atleast the anger is, rooted in "unjustified insult", but should insult be an explicit event or can it be a perceived or implicit one?

Hmm

After some serious thoughts in my previous blogs, I ask myself to get off it and write something non academic, about myself - serious but.

Why am I what I am: clear, confused, honest, hypocratic, loving, hostile, humble, arrogrant, simple, extravagant, selfish, crude, rude ...... such a big mess of duality!! "mein aisa kyoon hoon?"!!!

I love meeting people, but do not enjoy sustaining a long term relationship. I enjoy arguing, but as long as I have a point to make. I enjoy providing suggestions, but dislike taking suggestions. I critique others' work while my work is a shame in itself. I have ideals that I set for myself, but live such a lowly and cheap life. I judge people despite my inabilities proven in the past. I jump to conclusions while giving a lecture on how not to. I believe in myself way over too much though I have failed multiple times. I enjoy solitude while I seem social. I generate enormous ideas but hardly have the inclination, interest, or deligence to see them in action.

I am somehow a "jack of many trades and master of none". I seem to know something about everything, something about nothing, and nothing about anything. I hardly have my facts when I go into a debate, but I always debate so and am mostly wrong (that I realize quite late). I have a misplaced memory that resets and mixes up dates and chronological events.

In short I would describe myself as a lazy man with million ideas and dreams, but billions of diversions with no drive to succeed in any sense. But one positive thing about me is that I look for change, and am hopeful that I will change (as I have) for a better me, simply by the Causeless mercy of the Lord in who I completely believe.

They say, self bashing is not good, but self-realization is, so is this attempt. An attempt to carve a better being from within by taking out the toxins (not all toxins, an attempt such as that would complete annihilate a toxic person as mine).

With Love for myself.
