Anger maybe the root of all evils, but at the bottom of it is fear. And fear is the single cause of many miseries in the world. The politicians fear to speak their minds and evil men get their ways to the detriment of many. I fear to stand up when someone is being bullied, disparaged with nasty calumnies or abused. We are angry out of fear. We are jealous out of fear. We lash at others out of fear.
Children generally (assuming they are growing in well nurtured environement) are fearless. What happened to that fearless tyke who now sits behind a desk in a crammed office, bored to death pushing papers and dreaming of sex? What happened to the rebel who would not take No for an answer until he had his way? What happened? The adult systems broke him down to a mere figment of a man happy to work for food, shelter and occassional miserable sex if Memshahib allows.
If the genetic code was for us to be wild, free and fearless, we die many deaths before we expire to come later as poodles in the next life. Why not come back as a Brahman or even a Buddha if only we dare live fearlessly?
