| Irrupted Anger |
Anger is the
most intense and violent type of pessimistic emotion or excitement. It
dominates the human mind. Anger is moved by the heart, mind cannot
control it. Anger has room in the heart as profound slept seed and it
bursts up when circumstances and reasons favors for its irruption.
Anger is Circumstantial: - When does anger irrupt? Why does it erupt?
It is undecided and uncertain. But whenever anger is generated
circumstances are responsible for it. Most of the time society and
family are responsible for it. When a person is rebuked or punished
without any reason or on false ground, and it happens repeatedly, that
leads to disappointment and pessimism. Such situations are unbearable
for the victim. Anger arises inside him, suddenly he becomes violent and
on the contrary he opposes the situation violently and vigorously.
Intensity of Anger: - Anger is an intense feeling and it depends upon
the intensity of the circumstances. It starts with the use of abusive
words, comments, symbolic words and body gesture that hurts the emotions
of any person. As per reaction anger suddenly irrupts and makes the
person intolerant, peevish and uneasy. He looses self control; he can
sustain anger up to some limit. In simple word anger is reaction of such
actions.
Once anger starts, after sometime temperament of that
person is so high that he becomes so violent and can commit some crime
and that is the end of his anger. At this stage mind subsides the anger.
When person returns to his normal state, he regrets to his act.
Another type of circumstances that creates anger is business rivalry that is very frequent in present day's world.

| Intense Anger |
Impatient person is very easily being the victim of anger. This type
of person has no patience to wait for sometime. He wants action at once
as he demands for something. Otherwise he looses his temper and starts
taking unrestrainedly and makes the atmosphere full of tension. He
reproaches for a short period. Better if nobody notices him, he becomes
normal soon.
Anger has neither any shape nor any type. It
depends upon human nature. People with different nature hold anger with
different intensity and sharpness: -
- Some people who are of
'come and go' type. Anger arises in him and suddenly disappears. It is
just like a line that is drawn on the water by the wooden stick that
disappears as it is formed on the water surface.
- If intensity is slight high, anger stays for sometimes just like a line on sand that disappears by wind after sometime.
- Some
person are of very cruel type and they adopt anger of a aggressive
intensity, their anger is just like the line that is drawn on hard earth
and neither can be wiped out by the water or can be effaced by air
current. The line is erased with efforts, so as the anger.
Anger arises effortlessly on those who retains or adopts pessimistic
emotions like jealously hatred etc. For them the world seems to be the
great enemy for them. They can be violent and even commit crime for
worthless things.
Constructive And Destructive Anger: - the
cumulative anger is of destructive type. It seems in racial, social and
caste conflict. This type of anger has changes the course of History so a
many times.
Anger can be constructive or destructive; it
depends upon the emotional setback that originates due to the injustice.
On first hand any person tries to ignore the circumstances that develop
due to injustice but if it is done repeatedly and he just bears all
these up to the limit of patience. And he opposes it and fight for that
injustice. This is constructive anger. The example is Mahatma Gandhi,
who fought against the racism in the South Africa
when he was thrown away from the first class compartment of the train
by a White Ticket Collector, at that time the Blacks were not allowed to
travel in the first class of the train in the South Africa.
Anger As a power:-
- Anger shouldn't be up to that extend that it controls the mind and the heart.
- It is natural but the point is how a person reacts over it.
- If the person can control the anger, he will be the winner other wise the looser.
- If
anger irrupts due to the injustice, it can be the inspirational force
that motivates a person. But if it should be remain when the anger
disappears, constructive results can't be achieved. For this better if
the victim always remembers the injustice to motivate him.
- Angry person can easily be misguided and he is used as a tool.
- Aggression
and passion for the aim are must to achieve the success. Sometimes it
develops through anger in some people so anger becomes inspirational to
him.
- Anger has a power of creation that affects the humanity
by and large, but this state of anger develops slowly like the
germinating seed. After its appearance its stays and converts into
creation. That is in the form of reforms in the society. History is the
evidence of such anger.
- Anger that develops due to
the weakness or lacking of something in the life can be constructive or
destructive, depends upon the nature of a person.
Means to Control The Anger:-
Everybody knows anger irrupts like a volcano and is uncontrollable but there are ways to control anger.
 |
| Control of Anger |
- First of all try to take yourself away from the atmosphere that creates the anger.
- Whenever anger explodes, start counting with effort.
- Try to walk fast or start taking deep breathes. Inhales deeply and exhales gently and slowly that helps to control the anger
- Whenever anger irrupts don't say anything and keep silence that gives you sometime to think about the situation.
- When
the anger settles down, think about the situation and try to find the
reason for the anger. We can't control the situation but can control
ourselves.
- Whenever anger appears it should be mold into
another direction. Better if a person consume his anger in some other
work, it is difficult to do in normal conditions. The results will be
better.
- If a person knows the reason of the anger,
next time when he will come across the same situation, better if he
stops doing work because angry person is more abusive and arrogant.
The best way is to control anger is live a disciplined life and
develop the habit of self control. It would be fine enough if you don't
welcome anger as your difficulty. Make anger your friend not your enemy.
