I’ll choose C) It depends on how you use it — but not in the comfortable way. I actually disagree with the idea that anger gives you strength. In my experience, anger doesn’t give you anything. It borrows energy from your future and charges interest.

The moment I felt the most rage was when I discovered that someone I trusted had been stealing from my family for years. Not a stranger. Someone who sat at our table. I was 19. For months, I fantasized about confrontation. I replayed conversations in my head. I wanted him to feel small.

What changed me afterward wasn’t the anger. It was watching my mother keep her dignity while everything fell apart. She didn’t scream. She didn’t plot revenge. She just kept going. That’s when I realized my rage wasn’t making me stronger — it was making me smaller. It narrowed my whole world to that one person.

So I don’t think anger makes us worse people. I think it reveals what we care about. It’s information. But if you let it drive, it will crash the car. You can use it to set a boundary, to leave a bad situation, to protect someone. But the moment you start calling it “strength,” you’re probably just running on adrenaline and calling it power.

My answer: C, with a warning label. Anger can point you somewhere. It should never be the engine.
