“What Is Anger? “
What is anger? Why is it that we go out of control? Why do we get angry at the people we love and care about?
A natural reaction to pain or being hurt is anger. I believe it’s a part of human reflex, but is also voluntary. This mechanism strikes in, when the element of cause is perceived by us as a threat.
As a teen, adult Authority was always an element of anger to me. Those who try to create attitudes such as Sexism, homophobia, racism, patriarchy, inequality, and oppression also make me angry. People not respecting my right to my own opinions and beliefs. And of course there are many other things that make me mad, like cheating or taking unfair advantage of others, but here again, I try to keep things in perspective and try to give others the benefit of a doubt.

But then the guilt sets in when you realize what you have done .We forget to realize the damage done and cannot help but feel sad. According to me to control our strong emotions we have to acknowledge it and put our feelings into words, this can diminish their grip on you and help them work their way out of your system and then seek perspective. I believe this will improve the situation and give a sense of control of your life back into your
