MANIME: Manly Lessons from Anime featuring Rising of the Shield Hero Part 3: Rage vs Discipline

Rage is something we love in movies. When the main character goes into beast mode and takes all the bad guys down. We think of guys like John Wick who take out entire gangs for killing his dog. In “Rising of the Shield Hero,” Naofumi has the “Rage Shield.” This is a special power that he possesses that helps him win a bunch of fights. However, it does have a very high cost.

For many men, rage is a common characteristic. They lose their temper and go at people or situations. For many, when they get angry and full of rage, they get things done and make things happen. At least, that is what they tell themselves. The problem is rage always has a lot of collateral damage.

On today’s episode, we talk about the realities of rage. What it can do for us and what it can do to hurt us. We also talk about the positive flip side of rage: discipline.

Truth 1: Rage can be effective.

- When the adrenaline hits and rage takes over, you can do some damage.

- Rage can motivate hard work for a time

- Becoming raged can intimidate people into submission

Truth 2: Rage has a high price

- It only has the power to destroy

- No one gets enraged and then makes a beautiful painting or builds a grand structure.

- Rage has collateral damage

- Our rage hurts those closest to us

- Naofumi hurt himself when he was full of rage

- Rage can be a powerful force but it has a high cost.

Truth 3: Discipline Focuses the Energy of Rage

- Discipline comes from our self-control

- Our ability to focus our energy and use it for good instead of bad

- Discipline is found in community and not isolation

- Discipline is a productive power source

Challenge:

- How do we move from rage to discipline

- Deal with the roots of our pain

- Build a community and don’t fight alone

- Do the right thing even when you don’t feel like it

- Protect yourself from influences and situations that feed your rage

Watch and Enjoy!
