Anger is very often perceived as something bad, but really whether the anger is ‘bad’ or ‘good’
depends on how we react and how we express this emotion throughout our behavior. Moreover,
anger just like any other emotion is information. Anger in this manner informs us that some of our
beliefs, values, and standards are threatened. OR that our expectations and hopes were
disappointed.
Anger is very interesting because we don’t need a real danger to react with anger. It’s enough when
we imagine something and that can ‘awaken’ this emotion. I think that this is the most dangerous
thing about anger. Because we all have lush imaginations and we can imagine hundreds of different
scenarios when we can get angry easily. And that’s what we often do. We often imagine things and
then we are getting angry.
Anger is a huge emotion and can be used in many different ways. In can be used as a motivation to
change or it can also be an explosive that destroys every relationship, every effort you put into your
development. This is why it is so important that we understand our anger, it is important for us to
know how to use our anger to our goals, and advantages without uncontrolled outbursts but also
without suppressing anger and pretending that nothing has happened because both of these
strategies are not helpful or healthy with regards to managing anger.
Another important reason why we should learn how to deal with our anger is that this emotion will
never disappear. Anger will stay with you forever. So it can be very useful for you to learn how to
deal and cope with anger.
