All organisms possess anger. It does not help in any. Is it a side effect of our maturity, our developed mind? From time immemorial a noted sensation, destructive in nature. History has never recorded anger as a compassionate and helpful emotion.
Even the most patient man is said to possess anger, it is also said that suppressing such emotion is psychologically damaging. Pharmaceutical companies have developed medicines for anger.
The nature of anger is negative. In fact, it could be considered as sin as nothing good comes of it. People who live in today’s fast paced life do not have the luxury to deal with it. The right steps would be to step back, relax and calm yourself until anger subsides. People working on the lines of sales are popularly known to get angry. Partly the reason why they are compensated sufficiently because it is mentally challenging.
Friends end up breaking, families start quarrelling and damage is sometimes irrevocable. It is also the reason why psychologists are so much in demand. Why do we entertain it? Men and women are renown to conquer the highest mountains and the deepest seas yet with anger there is no luck. We are hopeless subdued by it.
With time I have seen the irreparable damage that anger can do. Some genres of music thrive on it. The concepts of mosh pits and head banging is based on a similar sensation. People reach a state quite close to anger and thrive in it. I would still say it is more colorfully managed in these circumstances.
Anger could arise from disappointment, despair or any other emotion. It lies in the flip-side of the many happy emotions we have.
Anger is generally followed by a regrettable action. As I mentioned at the start of this passage, nothing good comes of it. It is abusive and uncontrollable. It is also a primal emotion. A means to judge one’s true nature. Yet we do absolutely nothing.
Meditation and yoga are some of the popular methods practiced to control it. While I see many who use such techniques, I do not believe the solution lies in taming it. I feel channeling would be a better answer. We possess such a strong emotion, why remove it. It is equivalent to having a divine weapon in your arsenal. The more I think about it the more it feels so. It is not a human creation, a quality bestowed upon us by our creator, powerful with infinite potential.
It is a cumbersome task to accomplish. But since we live a single life, it is prime time we take steps to channel anger in a way that does not hurt the society we live or people we cherish. A single moment is all it takes to break something, it takes an eternity to fix and then some.
