I don't trust people who pretend to not get angry or sad or whatever else - but I also have tremendous trust in the fact that all emotional experience, no matter how positive/negative, pleasant/painful,can be experienced as the vibrant dance of spaciousness....

Most of the time, practicing with a little anger can be good fun. I've learnt however, that when it gets very intense the smart thing is to completely stop, sit down, and practice. Because if you act it out or repress it, the cost can be high.
