I'm Nordic. It kind of went the opposite way. We would do crazy stuff like tell the missionary priests that we would convert if they would walk through fire and live, and they would, and did, and then we would convert. Pure madness.

"Expression" is not actually helpful for anger and simply creates pleasure from anger which makes things worse. The kind of men who start fights and go to jail express plenty of anger, but they never actually control it or manage it. Why? Because that doesn't work.
