ANGER :
Anger is just one letter short of DANGER.
“Anger is an acid that can do more harm to
vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.” – Mark Twain
Anger is one
such emotion which if used in an effective way, can help you to achieve
success; but if used in a wrong way, there is nothing more destructive than it.
Wikipedia defines anger as, “Anger is an emotional response related to one's
psychological interpretation of having been threatened. Often it indicates when
one's basic boundaries are violated.” Anger is one such emotion or
characteristic which is rarely absent in anyone’s personality. Only difference
is the degree of getting angry. Some people get angry very easily while some
get angry only when something terribly goes wrong. Although anger is a very
natural emotion, people find it difficult to deal with it. Anger not only
affects the person on whom the anger is directed, it also affects the person
holding it.
We all know
the consequences of anger. Anger can destroy anything in few seconds, which has
taken a lifetime to build.
The point of
concern here is, in spite of knowing that anger results in harmful consequences,
people find it difficult to get rid of it. Some people even make it a tagline
to give excuses by saying, “you know how I am, I get angry very easily, I don’t
do it purposely it just happens.” What they don’t realize is that by saying
this they are making it only their weakness. There is an interesting theory
about anger.
