do you think anger always boils down to underlying sadness or fear? or do you see it differently?

sometimes they disguise each other but ime it can go in any order. anger hiding fear, sadness hiding anger, all sorts

when you're angry about something you actually have no power to change (eg the past) it's natural for it to give way to grief as you acknowledge that powerlessness. but sometimes you *do* have power
sometimes you're sad and scared about a present situation you actually have the power to improve (shitty job, shotty relationship, w/e) and that can give way to anger that gives way to action as you exercise your power

that all makes sense! would you say this all boils down to fear or sadness? sometimes when we feel powerless it’s really just the frame we’re in causing that pain definitely
