Anger Management Through a Disbelief in Reality and/or a Belief in Fate

When I was younger, I got upset easily. Then, toward the end of high school, I started to believe that life was an illusion. I also started to suspect that the manner in which all these illusions transpired were already decided in advance. Since nothing was real, and since nothing could be done to change how these illusions played out, I saw no reason to be angry anymore.

Eventually, I started to think the world might not be purely an illusion, and that there may be freewill. But I kept the benefits of my cooled-off temper.
