That is a very good point. I used to have a very fiery Sicilian temper in the past (albeit with some very rare occurrences even now
).
From Zen, I learned to acknowledge the anger (don't repress or suppress as you indicated) and then immediately detach from the anger and decide how best to proceed from that point under "control" (as you noted) instead of being driven impulsively by the anger. Simply acknowledge the feeling .... understand it ... and proceed as wisely as possible from that point.
