Indeed, human emotion and the expression thereof are wonderful things, Mr. Urahara. It is better, in my opinion, to express emotions as they come along, even if they are violent ones: if they are repressed, they just build up, leading, thereby, to intense destruction. Many cases of murder which pass through the courts of our country are not premeditated, but rather committed in the heat of the moment out of a fit of intense anger. Of course, there are those who are predisposed to become angry, angry enough to kill, at the drop of the hat -- but such people are few and far in between, and often these towering fits of rage come from accumulated, repressed emotion.
So certainly, expression is always more productive than repression. Our society is built around restraint, around politeness, a concept which is in turn based around deception. Such an interesting world we live in, is it not?
Semantics, perhaps, Mr. Urahara, but hopefully not tediously so.
A very noble concern, Mr. Urahara. If only the world had more men like yourself! I'm sure it would be a better place -- so many people are content to merely sit back and watch, too uninspired (or perhaps defeated and downtrodden) to do anything about the ills of society.

Interesting is not the way I would describe it, Mr. Aizen.
Interesting implies some level of interest. I am not interested in society, I am concerned by it.
