definition
"True peace does not eliminate anger; it transforms it into a force for compassion and constructive action, merging the quiet of the heart with the fire of revolution."
According to Osho, yes—a truly peaceful person can feel anger, but never for personal hurt. His anger has no private cause; it arises from compassion for others’ suffering and becomes energy for creative action. Peace must be living and active; joined with steadiness of mind, such anger fuels constructive revolution rather than destructive rage. Thus, peace and revolution meet in a single integrated person.
A calm person may still get mad, but only to help others and fix unfairness, not because their own ego is hurt.
