Anger’s a therapy!

We all think of anger as a negative feeling that needs to be treated with disgust and at all times avoided. Anger is always treated as psychological case that should be vented out with caution and should not lead to aggression and negatives feelings. We have read countless literature on managing our anger and to make positive use of it.

Most of the time anger is not understood in its enterity and therefore a single solution is suggested to overcome ones anger. We are taught and lectured methods to vent our anger in positive ways so that we do not radiate negative energy and so that we do not harm others in the process. The whole intention till now have been to see anger, which is an integral part of human emotion as is kindness and gratitude, as most negative emotion, to subjugate it, to kill it and to somehow do everything in our disposal to stop ourselves from not becoming angry.

The basic reason for this outburst against anger is the human’s civilisation enigmatic hypocrisy for goodness. In this mad race to make our civilisation more and more good and nice and to generate more feel good factor, we forget that there are some basic human characteristics that is the blueprint of human character that is intrinsic to humans. There has to be some meaning why we are allowed to be angry (nobody actually thinks that it may be very important to be angry for a good emotional and psychological health).

Anger like love is one of the few characteristic that is found in all the living creatures on Earth. This means that Anger comes from the blueprint of character of anything living. Anger is something that every living being inherits and exhibits. This brings us to the point I want to state:

Be angry with someone, if you cannot forgive; and if that makes you feel good!

Because of our traditional neglect for anger, we may find it hard to understand and comprehend, how can anger make us feel good. But if you forget all the negativity that have been wrapped around anger over the centuries then you will understand that my assertion, ‘Anger really makes you feel good’. It can make you delighted, you don’t have to be remorseful even if you vent your anger in the most vulgar manner. If you are angry with someone, you deserve to vent it on her with all the negativity that she deserves. There is no reason for being subtle and articulate in venting your anger. You can swear at her, call her vulgar names as well, if that makes you feel good. You can do whatever you want to do, even ‘puke’ on her if you want. She has done you bad and she deserves it. And I assure you it will make you feel really good.

Anger serves a lot of purposes, apart from the most obvious ones. It helps you overcome any failures in life. It helps you move on. It helps you clear your mind of lot of clutter. It helps you see greener things in life. It makes you more confident. It helps you feel the energy in you. It can make your life very simple because it’s all in the mind; so flush out your mind!

You have the right to be angry and vent it to the person who caused you so much pain. It’s time you paid back. There are no moral strings attached, but caution should be exercised not to make things more difficult for yourself. Because the main reason why you should be angry is to make yourself happy. So become angry and exhibit anger, if it makes your life more simple and enjoyable to live.

Anger is not a problem, anger is a therapy for your problems. Anger is not about being aggressive. Anger is about being proactive it’s not about being timid and finding faults in ourselves first, when the real fault is with somebody who has caused us such grave pain. Anger should be outbound in order to be therapeutic. One word of caution though you should never being  angry at yourself because you can never be wrong.

Be angry, be happy!
