Anger alchemized into it's highest form is the clarity to disassemble ignorance. Agree or disagree?

Steven Fan @_StevenFanReplying to @mattparlmer @sonyasupposedlyMorally, in life too. Left it vague. Trying to be brief with the following, might miss the mark: my background for that tweet is relatively Buddhist assumption/understanding negative affect has a 'clarified' counterpart rooted in wisdom of non-separateness of self, non-self.1 reply 0 retweets 1 likeShow this thread -

Alchemically, from an embodied/visceral/psychosomatic perspective, without going too deep into endocrinology, it's all heat at a rather basic level. Wise anger is a manifestation/display of fierce/wrathful energy for pedagogical purposes.

The same heat that fuels deluded anger (including hate and ill-will) can be harnessed and transmuted into wise anger (a species of compassion and good-will) displayed by a loving mother toward her innocent yet ignorant child, for instance.

A mother whose child runs after a ball into oncoming traffic will manifest wise anger, not because she wishes him dead, but because she wishes him life. Her anger is just as hot, fierce, wrathful, but motivated by care rather than harm.

I’ve been looking at this tweet all week and it just occurred to me that rather than anger, a mother running into traffic to save her kid is more likely acting out of a fear of the grief and shame she would experience upon the kid’s death.

Occasionally fear will transmutate into protective anger. A mother might yell profanities, feeling her blood boil, upset at her disobedient child as she scoops him out of harm's way. Fear & anger even share a chemical basis in norepinephrine, driving the fight or flight response.

Interest, anger, fear all share arousal valence. Norepinephrine supports maintaining high signal/noise in sensory processing, which fits as 'energy' speculatively. The neuroanatomy for these emotions are distinct though.
