[QUOTE="Quid est Veritas?, post: 70333234, member: 385144"] Emotions don't exist in isolation. It is fear, anger, regret etc. all in one. Sometimes you need to show anger that your child understands the importance of what you are saying. The very fear, the earth-shattering loss that even a minor discomfort of your child causes you, can easily manifest as anger when they did not listen. I trust you don't have any kids? You don't love your child any less, your just so disappointed and broken by it. Don't presume to lecture me on love. I am happily married. Do you honestly believe that a loving couple will never fight? That is not how relationships work. Because I love my wife, I assume she will always act in my best interests. Sometimes people do not, sometimes we are selfish, sometimes we have unrealistic or impossible expectations. This will result in disappointment and anger; when I didn't take out the garbage even though I said I would or forgot to do something she really needed me to do or vice versa. Anger is a temporary and necessary emotion to take off pressure in a relationship. It does not sink a couple if they sometimes have a tiff, it's very natural and inevitable. It is unrealistic to say 'be empathetic' and craft some hypothetical standard called 'love' which has no anger in it. No such relationship exists nor is possible unless it is a sterile and unfeeling one. Where strong feeling exists, all forms of emotion are stronger on account of it. A fire gives heat and warmth, but can also burn you. You cannot have one without the other. [/QUOTE]
