Aggression

Aggression is a blind impulse to self-affirmation,
to the expression of all elements of one's being,
without any discrimination of choice,
without any concern for consequences,
without any consideration for others.
-Roberto Assagioli

Aggression is not necessarily destructive at all.
It springs from an innate tendency to grow and master life
which seems to be characteristic of all living matter.
Only when this life force is obstructed in its development
do ingredients of rage, anger or hate become connected with it.
-Clara Thompson 

Aggression is different from anger.
Anger is an emotion; aggression is a behavior.
There are better ways to deal with anger than behaving aggressively.
Aggressive talk, gestures or behaviors belong to the old way of being.
Once we tune in to a higher level of consciousness,
aggression is as unnecessary as is the hand-held plow in modern day agriculture.
-Gwen Randall-Young
