"Anger is the ultimate troublemaker. I feel you can express a strong disapproval or dislike of an object without losing your temper."

Whilst I completely agree, there are exceptions that prove this Rule. It's interesting how oftentimes people communicate on such an unconscious Emotional level. This is intuitively recognized by all as "Drama", aka "Emotional Game Playing". If you don't play the emotional game "right", they won't Listen to you. So, in certain rare cases, I do need to fully Invoke Anger in order for them to clearly receive my message. Of course, if this is a "common" occurrence, I would wonder why it is that you put yourself into these types of situations on a frequent basis.

"He who must unsheathe his Sword has already lost the Battle."

In almost all situations, though, I hate to lose control over something so simple as My Temper. I mean, it's My Temper, and I'll be damned if I am its bitch. I learned a lot about Patience and keeping control in Emotionally turbulent situations in my last job, I'll tell ya what.
