Alexander, “nonsense” is a strong word, which is not conducive to constructive debate.

That said, I never stated that anger necessarily leads to hatred. But it can, especially in cases like the one we are talking about, which are clearly very different from the one you bring up, about parents and children.

Also, you state pretty categorically that anger is a good thing. Why? The Stoics have good arguments for why that is not the case. What are your counterarguments?
