Anger and desire not inherently evil (Beliefnet)

It is not that anger and desire are inherently evil or that we should feel
ashamed when they arise. It is a matter of seeing them as the delusions that
they are: distorted conceptions that paint a false picture of reality. They
are negative because they lead to unhappiness and confusion. (Kathleen
McDonald, "How to Meditate")
