Lethargy of lazy limbs, or tiredness of ones well used. Then, fire. Energy. Focus. Warmth. Power.
No wonder y'all are addicted to it.

After that I spent years and years guiltily suppressing it, but looking back I can sense anger behind many of my major life decisions.

Now I find anger untamed to be more frightening than anything else. Unbelievably destructive.
And no, suppression is not control.

On the other hand, acting on anger in a natural manner - just with a modicum of civility - makes you utterly indomitable.

long term use of anger for energy does real damage to human bodies. Should only be used for crises.

Yes. That's my point. You don't release the anger, it keeps driving your decisions forever.
You let it go... it's gone.
