In this entry, Anais says, "The theme of America is gigantism, grandiosity." She believes we make things and ourselves bigger to cover our weaknesses and helplessness. She thinks that anger leads to power which leads to this theme.
Anais does recognize the flip side of anger, its positive side, even though she tends to identify anger as negative and evil. The positive side is that it can lead to creation, change. You get tired of things being the way they are, and your frustration and anger give you energy and fuel you to do something about it or at least express your feelings through some art form.
