Anger is a hot topic for spiritual seekers. Many people, for instance, have an issue with Jesus’s anger with the money-changers. If Jesus was so pure, they ask, then how could he have gotten angry? But no Jew or Italian would have a problem with that scene. The removal of ego is not the removal of personality. What we call Jesus’s anger was energy. An outburst of emotion doesn’t have to be so quickly labeled anger. It’s a release of energy and doesn’t have to be thought of as a negative or “unspiritual” emotion.
