        I’ve had a chance to watch it now. Even he understands the spirit of the sentiment. Despair (hopelessness) leads to inaction, anger spurs it on.

        We can be hopeful once we’re free.

          I agree, I think anger can be a motivating force toward positive action, and I don’t begrudge anyone who uses it as fuel. But as he says, I think eventually it can burn out, in which case, hope and love become powerful long term fuels to push on.
