There are a few emotions i gave up paying any regard to as i see them as essentially useless as a slave. Anger is one of them. i do get angry at times, yes, but i don't have to express that anger - it is emotionally mature to not do so. Instead i can either be honest with my Master (i'm currently unowned) and talk with him calmly about my emotions, if he chooses to listen to them - or simply do as i'm told, which is generally always the better choice. Typically just doing as i'm told and focusing on moving through any emotions i might have deals with them appropriately and they just go away. Think about this: all anger is is judging someone else for not doing something your way, or for them not feeling how you think they should feel - both of which are very judgmental actions. People don't always do the right thing, and they don't always do what you think they should - even Masters. The art comes in the acceptance and letting go of judgment. Because really, all the ultimately matters is the relationship - and there's very, very little i would be willing to cling to so emotionally (like anger) to risk the sacrifice or loss of the relationship with my Master.
