Don’t let your anger persist

You seem to have a different theory of anger than mine, or you express it in a very different way. Which culture do you think gets this more right?

If a predator attacks your child and you chase it off, isn't that anger? Is that because your model was wrong?

Your model expects your child not to be attacked.

The child was attacked.

You suddenly have the energy for resynchronization so that your model can persist despite this exception.

I don't understand your mode/reaction/resynchronization point at all.

Does this vocabulary of calling our personal preferences a "model" and something we dislike a "violation of our model" actually buy us anything?

What if you knew that there were predators about?

I don't think all anger is about models being violated, but if you said that some or even most (in the modern world) is I might better see where you're coming from.
