For example: anger can be fun. "It feels a lot like the first rush of an opiate – a tingling warmth on the insides of your elbows and wrists, in the back of your knees," the American cartoonist <A title="Tim Kreider" href="http://www.thepaincomics.com/">Tim Kreider</A> wrote in a recent essay, looking back at the years he spent eviscerating the Bush administration. "Once I realised I enjoyed anger, I noticed how much time I spent experiencing it. If you're anything like me, you spend about 87% of your mental life winning imaginary arguments that are never actually going to take place."</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/nov/14/change-your-life-anger-oliver-burkeman">Most people, of course, will agree that anger isn't all bad: it can be justified, and righteous, and it can be a motivator to actions that need to be taken. A total inability to feel it, whatever the circumstance, would surely count as a psychological problem. But we rarely acknowledge that it can be a pleasure we seek out. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/979ADF3F-9615-44E8-897A-585DEE6125F2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
