why I am not angry

A revelation when reading the magazine New Philosopher on emotions.

It's not that I don't get angry. Or not have the feeling of that emotion.

But I think I subconsciously fear conflict even more.

So, to subdue flashes of rage and hot arguments or fiery passions... I just prefer to stay calm. And not stir up anything.

This peace, stems not from tranquility or serenity itself, but from the desire to avoid upsetting others. If I am angry, the other person would be sad. I don't want them to be sad because of me.

Hence, I never get angry.

But I still fear.
I fear the other person getting angry.
