Anger as an emotion can make you feel vulnerable, powerless and utterly destructive. All of us get angry at some point and while it is inevitable to not let anger strike you, it is possible to “fake” some anger while being calm on the inside. Speaking Tree Masters tell you how…
Deepak Chopra
Negative emotions like anger run deep, and they express something you feel cannot be dealt with another way. Anger is not to be swallowed, because it won’t stay down for long.
First, you won’t approach your anger seriously until you realise that it is harming you. As long as you feel justified in getting angry, you are bound to cling to it. It serves as both weapon and defence. Attacking and defending are entangled in the complicated issue of human aggression, which no one resolves until it is clearly seen that you are hurting yourself more than you are hurting others.
How does anger hurt you? There are obvious secondary ways, because negative emotions disrupt relations with family and friends. But this is rarely enough to make a person change. The direct harm you are causing to yourself is that you are stuck in one mode of dealing with situations, and that mode is unrealistic, impractical, and unhealthy.
Brahma Kumaris
I always should be aware of my own thoughts, emotions and words. Also, I should have the awareness that, my original religion is not anger, but it is love and peace. I am a peaceful being. My own self awareness can bring peace to my mind. When I am aware of what is happening inside my mind, I can stop the negative vicious cycle. If I understand that, my mind is going in a negative cycle, I should take a U turn and go into a positive direction.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Anger is a distortion of your true nature and it doesn't allow the self to shine forth fully. The structure of human consciousness or the mind is very similar to that of an atom. The positively charged protons and neutrons are in the center of the atom while the negatively charged particles are only on the circumference. Similarly, even in human consciousness, mind and life, all the negativities and vices are only in the periphery. Your true nature is peace and love.
Showing anger itself is not wrong, but being unaware of your anger only hurts you. Sometimes you can show anger purposefully. For example, a mother gets angry at her children and can act tough or shout at them if they put themselves in danger. There are situations that warrant showing anger, but when you get angry, have you observed what happens to you? You are shaken completely. Look at the consequences of getting angry.
