I hate the feeling of being angry. It doesn’t solve anything. To me, it may motivate, but it’s negative motivation, not postive. You are working against something instead of for something. I can deal with depression even though I don’t want to because it causes me to reevaluate myself and my goals. Like filmfan says, it inspires creativity. I am not one of those people who think you need to be depressed to be a serious artist but sadness is a gentle, introspective emotion. I think it has a lot to do with the search for meaning in life and having empathy for others. So even though it is painful I would choose it over anger. That said, of course, anger has its place. If your see injustice and cruelty in the world it is hard not to be angry. And it also inspires you to work towards change. If it doesn’t do that, however, it is empty, self-righteous anger.
Fear is the emotion I can identify with the most! I think I have always been more fearful than the average person. I have had to push myself all the way to not listen to my fears. I don’t want my fears to keep my from getting what it is I need and want out of life.
