Can You Be Angry and Love at the Same Time?
This isn't a question of whether or not anger is a bad thing. It is a question of whether or not you can simultaneously be angry with someone and be giving them love.
If you feel angry at someone you love, are you loving them in that moment as well, or is it in remembering that you love them that causes anger to subside?

Me? No. I need to stop being angry first in order to love again.
I cannot do both at once. It is torture to try and do both at once. Better to just let the anger go, and love once again. Anger knows no peace. What is love without peace? If there is a valid issue that caused the anger, then the issue must be dealt with. To bury it, means in a sense that you are also burying your anger. You will either die in that grave, or rise up with a vengance later on. However, if you remain angry, it is so much more unlikely that you will ever find any real solution in love.

It's hard. But it can be done.
...Yes. I can and have done it.

Just because I get angry at someone doesn't mean I don't love them.....

Sure it's possible to be angry at people you love. And it's even possible to love people you don't particularly like. Sometimes the best thing to do is love someone from a distance (thank you for that line Booko!).
Love is a choice you make, the choice to want the best for another person. At the same time you need to take care of yourself, and that can include not being around them.

I cannot actively BE angry and actively BE loving at the same time.
Certainly though I can still "love" (ie care deeply about the welfare of) the person I am angry at. Perhaps I don't understand the question.

I can love someone and be angry at them at the same time, because I am not ultimately angry at the person but angry about something the person has done.
