the responsibility of the person because, essentially, you are saying that people
cannot control their emotions.
YOUTH: Well, how do you explain my anger, then?
PHILOSOPHER: That’s easy. You did not fly into a rage and then start shouting. It
is solely that you got angry so that you could shout. In other words, in order to
fulfill the goal o f shouting, you created the emotion o f anger.
YOUTH: What do y o u mean?
PHILOSOPHER: That’s right, anger is an instantaneous emotion. Now listen, I
have a story. One day, a mother and daughter were quarreling loudly. Then,
suddenly, the telephone rang. “Hello?” The mother picked up the receiver
hurriedly, her voice still thick with anger. The caller was her daughter’s
homeroom teacher. As soon as the mother realized who was phoning, the tone

PHILOSOPHER: Don’t you see? In a word, anger is a tool that can be taken out as
needed. It can be put away the moment the phone rings, and pulled out again
after one hangs up. The mother isn’t yelling in anger she cannot control. She is
simply using the anger to overpower her daughter with a loud voice and thereby
assert her opinions.

YOUTH: As I said before, I blew my top. I was deeply frustrated. YOUTH: So anger is a means to achieve a goal?

PHILOSOPHER: No. You could have explained matters without raising your voice, PHILOSOPHER: That is what teleology says.
and the waiter would most likely have given you a sincere apology, wiped your

procedure of explaining things in normal words felt like too much trouble, and
you tried to get out of that and make this unresisting person submit to you. The
tool you used to do this was the emotion of anger.
