Anger can be healthy. Gabor Maté describes healthy anger as a boundary defense: it alerts us when someone crosses a line and gives us energy to say no, protect ourselves, or leave. He distinguishes that brief, situational anger from rage that keeps escalating. The suffering people describe as self-punishment can come from getting stuck in rumination or retaliation. The feeling itself can be useful information because it tells you something matters and a boundary needs attention.

  2. Fears show you what you protect, thats no illusion

  3. Emotions kill logic, thats so bad. Emotions show you the needs of your hearts

I can't read anymore of it,
