However, most things aren't even worth getting riled up over. I was just asking about those times you do experience anger. How do you vent on track without it being aggressive, rather assertive. Or, is that the nature of rap?

I can see that it's easy to live a life that's completely free of anger. Ghandi did it. Mother Theresa did it, as well as Buddah and Jesus and countless other individiuals we haven't heard of yet. Anger is an emotional response to a lack of undertanding. When you fully understand
why things are happening the way that they do, nothing becomes upsetting because it's always working exactly the way it should and you come to expect and even predict that. If it's rainy outside and you slip while walking down the sidewalk, what made this happen? What's responsible for your impromptu attempt at acrobatics? The rain? The sidewalk? The shoes? Gravity? Nope. "You know what, I KNEW it was raining out and I KNOW that means it can be slippery, and KNEW that this could happen - but I still did nothing about it." After that, it's impossible to be upset at your clothes being wet, or you being sore, or anything else involved in the experience because that's what happens when you slip. And why'd you slip? Because you let your self slip.
The spark of "Feeling Good" for the rest of your life starts after you realize why you don't slip anymore. Everything in life is at your control.
