Before awakening I rarely felt emotion of any kind. On the few occasions strong emotion was provoked it left me feeling sick. Post-awakening I feel love, joy, and peace frequently, and all other emotions very subtly.
As I understand it, anger arises when another being or circumstances disappoint our expectation of how things should be. There seems to be a latent belief in the psyche that our anger will either punish the offender or change the circumstances to our liking. Either way, anger is a way of feeding the ego and creating the perception of separation between self and other-self. When you let go of expectations and utterly surrender to the present moments you will let go of anger.
