I'm not sure if it works entirely, but I hear you on everyone kind of having their own thing? Anger doesn't work like that for me. But I know someone... who uses her anger as part of what gives her strength, in fighting?

( Rachel had also seemed to love the fighting. Collette felt some of that, but not the way the older Animorph seemed to... though she only had a small idea of what that love of fighting was like. )

And someone else who's important to me uses anger to help him focus on why he has people to protect. It doesn't always make him easy to get along with, but he gets angry because he cares, and he confronts people being total jerks using that anger as something to help focus and give him strength to argue.

( She shrugs, offering the camera a smile. )

But it means he gets hot-headed and doesn't see things through, or he has trouble laughing at himself, sometimes, which is okay. It's why he's lucky to have people like me around! I guess anger's scary because it can get away with you.

( Now... she thinks of Al. )

You stop holding back and you go too far over the line because you let the anger control you, instead of the other way around. Being rational about how things work... that's not bad! Emotions just don't think rationally. They're not logic. So if a scary one's in control, instead of the other way around...

( She trails off with her hands held up in front of her chest as she shrugs. What's there to say? Her own philosophy is a bit toward the other end of the spectrum. )
