When you hit a level of emotional maturity, self-love, and inner peace -- anger and hatred become nearly impossible. Sure, emotions fluctuate but you recognise it when those levels become overwhelming. You develop the confidence and the ability to immediately default back to calm and peace. A lot of people die never experiencing that peace. It is something worth reaching and protecting when you do.

Inner peace, like local peace, also depends on circumstances and environment. It's very difficult to maintain peace when you're too close to conflicts or those who cause them. A sense of injustice naturally arises, as we seek to apply common sense, kindness, and proportionality. Personally, I avoid unnecessary arguments and conflicts, I'm a more reserved person, but recently, it's been hurting and irritating to see someone close to me compulsively lie, criticize, and take advantage of others, to the point of irritating everyone and leaving them without what's theirs.

Of you don't feel anger when injustice happens and pain is inflicted over the unarmed and weak, it is not emotional maturity. Emotional maturity is feeling the right things, not being totally deprived of feelings

You said you cannot feel anger or hate if you have emotional maturity. I disagree.
I'd like to step away, but I'd be unfair to the people who need my support and to my own values ​​if I did, at least for now... But I understand what you mean: it's necessary to maintain a little more distance, at least mentally, to avoid being swept away by problems. But I believe that self-control always has its limits, since at some point the body and mind tire.
I struggle with it every day.. still. I was once a dafault angry person but I chose. I made the worst choices then, too. Now I am a far better version of what I once was. I still get angry but it no longer becomes me, nor does it reflect how I behave and act.
