Anger is love for one's own concepts and perception.

Question - Gurudev, when opposite values are complementary, does it mean that when more people meditate, more people will express negative tendencies like jealousy and violence?

Gurudev Sri Sri - You never know (laughter). All these negative emotions are distortions of love. They are off-springs of love. If there is no love, there can't be jealousy. If there is jealousy that means there is love. Arrogance is too much love for oneself. Jealousy is too much love for another person. Anger is too much love for another person or object. Greed is too much love for objects. Anger is love for one's own concepts and perception. An angry person will think, 'I perceive things to be like this, and if they are not like that, then he gets angry. So, almost every negative emotion is a distortion of love.
