On "Good Anger"

Following has been described frequently in sufi literature:

"Gussa aag ki ruhani shakal hai. Agar qaboo main rahe to chulhe pe tuaam ka baais banti hai - aur be-qaboo ho jaaye to ghar jhulas deti hai".

(Anger is a spiritual form of fire. If stays in control, it prepares a feast - and if gets out of control, can gut the whole house.)

Over the years, I learned that actually, the post-anger phase is more beneficial! After a bout of (hopefully controlled) anger as the waves of emotions defervescence - answers to many unresolved queries hit the mind.
