Understanding of process enables a person to gain control of that process or to gain freedom from being controlled by it. Thus, analytic understanding of the atomic components of blind rage — what triggers it, how it directs itself, how it mobilizes mental, verbal and physical energies and so on enables an habitually angry person to begin to control his or her temper, perhaps finally to become free of its control.
