Anger is an intense emotional state involving a strong uncomfortable and non-cooperative response to a perceived provocation, hurt or threat. An angry person will often experience physical effects, such as increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, and increased levels of adrenaline.
Some view anger as a normal and natural human emotion, while some see it as a weakness to be angry.
People react differently when they are angry. Some don't voice it out but inside, they are a burning cauldron. Some people just go away and leave the scene of the crime until things have cooled down. Others are more expressive and they yell. Some get physical, and destroy things when they're angry. Some yell out insults and obscenities. Others could go as far as causing physical harm and destruction.
So which category do you belong? Do you think anger is normal? Some people like to think that as a christian, "you shouldn't be getting angry". Lol, really? They really do see it as some sort of defect spiritually that needs some laying of hands.
What's the best way to react when you're boiling with rage? Explode immediately or swallow it and maybe explode later? Remember that if you don't show people how you really feel, they may not know and may end up doing the same things that got you angry in the first place. Also, anger takes a bad toll on the body physically and emotionally and if not expressed, could continue to cause more and more problems.
The issue now is, what is the right way to express anger so that it becomes a mature reaction devoid of verbal tirades or physical destruction or infliction of injury? Do you sit the culprit down and tell them in a reduced tone of voice that they have offended you? I mean, how would they take you seriously and know the gravity of what they have done? Right? They may think you're not serious and that you're not really angry.
In all, we need to communicate our feelings in a mature and respectful way, not bottling things up and exploding over something very flimsy. Try not to be verbally insulting in communicating your issues; also try not to be physically abusive and destructive in doing that too. In all we do, effective communication solves and prevents a lot of problems.
