what would a school of the spirit
be without a demonology division
so to start we have to look at is the
most prevalent demons of all which
is anger. It is the single most destructive
of all and the easiest to justify. That makes
me angry is heard more than anything else.
It is always somebody else's fault and fast.

Dante's "Inferno" lists the Seven Deadly Sins,
with #1 being the least serious and #7 being the worst:

1 lechery/lust
2 gluttony
2 avarice/greed
3 sloth/discouragement
4 wrath
5 envy
6 pride

However, I tend to agree with you that anger may indeed
be the worst of all. The first four sins on Dante's list
tend to hurt the people who do them more than they do
others, so they tend to be self-limiting. And envy and
pride can motivate many different kinds of behavior that
is destructive to both the people who do them and to
others around them, but usually in non-violent ways.
However, anger is always directed towards others,
and frequently leads to violence.

Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which
it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.

Very easy to detect and diagnose sort of like a sneeze

And like a sneeze, anger is a symptom that isn't that useful in making a diagnosis.

the only reward that is denied you is comprehension it is why you come here
frustration leads to anger then all the other symptoms complicate what is simple

Imagine God returning and humanity
getting angry at him for being late
but we know God is never late

My slant on this is that God is us and we are always here,
so the idea of being late is meaningless.

It looks like you're getting closer to making the breakthrough
I'm hoping you'll make. If everyone is God except you,
that makes you a loser among winners.
