One of the most uncontrollable and violent emotions.
Anger can cause irrevocable damage if our impulses are acted upon. Dealing with dire consequences is not everybody's piece of cake. Anger cannot be easily controlled because it involves almost all of our senses. Expression through words, face, physical action is as natural and quick as a cloth catching fire.
Fire is best used to describe anger. Spreads to all areas instantly, provided they aren't insulated. Makes people burn from the inside and fills them up with negative energy. If this energy remains misguided, the spontaneous ideas that follow could pose a threat for the person who is angry and those in the vicinity.
How does one control anger? Can you initially detect the presence of anger in you? Once you do, is the emotion seeded to grow into a wild tree, or is it nipped in the bud? Sometimes people recognise anger only when the tree has grown far too wild. But if they do detect it early, the emotion settles subconsciously as they persistently think about the situation or object that angered them in the first place. What's the point, really? The past has happened. There's nothing you can change about it. There's a lot you can change about the time you're living in, NOW. But no, our mind finds other things to concentrate upon.
Why do we choose to re-enact the situation that angered us? Those who have achieved the greatest feat of managing their anger, perhaps like to learn how they could have avoided the situation in the first place and prevent its repetition. The others mull in the emotions of the situation because anger makes them feel powerful - it makes them feel superior to the person they're angry with. When this superiority sets in, they feel that any action they take will be able to compensate for what primarily caused the anger. 'I am the King of the World and nobody can touch me' syndrome.
Anger triggers Violence
Violence produces Destruction
Destruction causes Shock
Shock leads to Regret
Regret inculcates Helplessness
and Helplessness could eventually trigger Anger again.
Why get trapped in this vicious circle? Where is the way out? If we can control our impulsive reactions for a while and focus on the actual matter at hand, we're headed in the right direction. Thinking will help us increase our temper tolerance and also find a reasonable solution to the problem at hand. Amicably settled, win-win situation for all.
Why don't we just do that then, you ask? Try it :) ... It is as difficult as searching for a lost diamond in the sands of Sahara.
