Anger

Anger is such a baffling thing. Such a strong and raw emotion. Something everyone has felt or experience. However I feel as though anger is one of the most useless emotions one person can feel. Mostly because half the time we don’t even know why we are angry because this emotion will mask grief and anxiety and frustration… if we were to sit down and ask ourselves why we feel angry and truly talk through it, how often would we find that Anger is the appropriate response?

Angry because your mother did this when it should have been done this so you just can’t understand… is it your place to be angry just because someone did not do what YOU thought was the appropriate thing to do? Angry because her thoughts and thought processes did not meet your own?

Angry because the restaurant was out of that one food you like and it’s been a terrible day…is anger the necessary emotion to feel when there is quite honestly no one to be angry at? The universe maybe but it’s never cared before. Maybe the real emotion behind the Anger that so quickly drives itself to the forefront of your brain is disappointment, or exasperation from events leading up to this…

All of this to say that anger has no place as a leading emotion. It’s sucks the energy from your body like a parasite. It causes you to act irrational and at the end of the day when the exhaustion takes over your body was it even worth the Anger that was felt all those moments leading to this point? Probably not.
