He does seem to babble on, but I think the takeaway of this article is:
"Yoda to young Anakin: “Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering.”
Anger is not an emotion. Fear is the emotion underneath anger. So many times when I have suffered the loss of a business or the downfall of a stock, or the breakup of a relationship, I might feel anger.
But the anger is only a mask. The underlying emotion is fear. Fear that I would go broke and lose my freedom. Fear that I would be lonely and never find someone to love.
Anger will never solve problems. Will never focus you. It will only stab at your brain. Understanding that the underlying emotion is fear allows you to practice the kindness to yourself to heal that fear."
While I would disagree that anger is not an emotion, because I think it is, I would agree that it is driven by fear. If you can conquer the fear, the anger will melt away.
