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.

So, neither anger or fear, just necessity.

Why name it at all? Even anger, fear In the experience itself, there is no name. I think you can get the idea by just remembering your own moments of "heat," but without narrating. Are they so different from one another?

Without naming there is no understanding. Alan Watts speaks of this. Until you name a problem it is a nebulous thing that cannot be dealt with. Then, you name it, and can look at it, an move on.

naming as top down way of precipitating discernment words (meaning nested in a graph of meanings) + syntax (local meaning nesting) provide structure for other forms of knowing e.g. spacial, experiential
