Can you be angry without losing control? Try looking for the caring in
it. It is passionate. Everything has it's duality, even anger. Sometimes I
get angry and when I look into it, it is just Goddess getting me to pay
attention to what I love, and when I understand that I can shape the anger
into something beneficial.

   Well, if you were depressed into catalepsy, then you would always win,
by those standards, coz you wouldn't care enough about anything to get
angry. You would not be affecting the world enough for anyone to get angry
at you.
  Christ and the temple traders, enlightened folks still carry the full
compliment of emotions, they just get mad about different stuff, and handle
it differently. I think it was Yogi Muktananda who was notorious for having
a sharp tongue and plentiful use of the Master's cane on his students.
Gandhi organized his anger at the British exploitation of India, into a
massive sit down strike of the entire country... he pissed off the British
Empire real good!

   That will always happen so long as anger is a source of win/lose ideas.
Anger can be win/win. Look at great leaders, and you will find most often,
that their original motivation to get them up off their butts, was anger.

  Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, .. labor unions, the human rights
movement, the Vietnam protesters.. Righteous anger, that sometimes goes
beyond this lifetime.. there are an awful lot of reincarnated burned
Witches and Holocaust victims involved in feminism and the Human Rights
movement. They died angry and they carry that anger forward into a mission
of peace.
Sometimes with very self pitying people who are stuck in a puddle
eating worms, my strategy is to insult them and piss them off, so they get
all fired up on their hind legs with their heart racing ready for a fight..
and then pat them on the back and tell them, see how powerful you are?
"Your own success is the best revenge". Go after it. Redirect the energy.
 Blessings..
