Summary

The article argues that while both anger and sadness are negative emotions, anger is more beneficial as it provides energy to confront and change one's situation, whereas sadness tends to drain energy and lead to inaction.

Abstract

The article "3 Reasons Why It’s Better to be Angry Than Sad" presents the case that anger, despite its negative connotations, is a more constructive emotion than sadness. It explains that sadness can lead to a loss of energy, causing individuals to withdraw and become inactive. In contrast, anger is described as an emotion that mobilizes energy, prompting individuals to take action and potentially improve their circumstances. The article references Dr. Hawkins' scale of consciousness from his book "Power vs Force," suggesting that anger, at 150Hz, is closer to the vibrational frequency of courage (200Hz) than sadness, which calibrates under 100Hz. This proximity to courage makes it easier for individuals to transition from anger to more positive states of being. The author emphasizes that the intention is not to glorify anger but to acknowledge its potential as a stepping stone to higher vibrational emotions and personal growth.

Opinions

Sadness is depicted as a disempowering emotion that leads to withdrawal and inactivity, characterized by a lack of energy and a desire to isolate oneself.
Anger is seen as an empowering emotion that provides the energy and motivation to confront and change one's situation, even if it's initially directed at an inanimate object like a pillow.
The article suggests that anger is a higher vibrational emotion than sadness, referencing Dr. Hawkins' scale of consciousness, which places anger at 150Hz, closer to courage (200Hz) than emotions like shame, guilt, and grief.
It is emphasized that anger should not be a permanent state and that one should not let the sun go down on their anger, as it can be destructive if left unchecked.
The author posits that transitioning from anger to courage and other higher vibrational emotions is more feasible than jumping directly from sadness or grief to courage.
The article concludes by stating that both anger and sadness serve a purpose, but neither should be a base vibration; instead, they should be acknowledged and moved through to reach a state of neutrality or acceptance.

1. Sadness Drains You of Your Energy

When you’re sad, all you want to do is lay in bed all day and cry. You lock the doors and shut everything and everyone out. You have no energy to do anything but to cry, sleep, and repeat.

You don’t even feel like showering, going out to grab the mail, or finding something to eat. Everything feels like a chore when you’re sad.

You withdraw from life and the last thing you want to do is get up and go outside.

Sadness disempowers you. It kicks you down and keeps you there. It cripples you and leaves you feeling helpless and hopeless.

All you see when you are sad is darkness.

Everything feels like a chore when you’re sad.

2. Anger Gives You Energy

When you’re angry, you walk out of the darkness and you head into the light.

There is not an angry person who will be caught sobbing in the bed with blankets over their head. When you’re angry, you have so much energy you want to break some shit!

You scream loudly into the pillow and you kick as hard as you can. You’re busy fighting and changing your situation, even if all you do is fight your pillow.

Anger makes you want to get up and do something about your situation. You get up, storm out, and slam the door!

Anger empowers you to go running or go to the gym to work the emotions out of your system. You take a hike into the forest and you scream at the top of your lungs. You come home tired; you shower and you find something to eat.

It’s better to be mad than sad.

Sometimes we use sadness as a band-aid to block out other unpleasant feelings. When we turn off the light and pull the covers over our heads and cry ourselves to sleep, it doesn’t leave us much room to think about anything different. It doesn’t give us a chance to change our perspective.

Once you start to feel and think about your situation and look at it differently, you see things differently. You see what you did and didn’t do. You see the parts you played in the situation. You realize what you did to people and what was done to you.

When you are angry, the sadness lifts and it propels you to take action.

This doesn’t mean you must have a quick temper. It doesn’t mean you should go around yelling at people and taking your anger out on everybody. No. Be slow to anger and, in your anger, do not sin.

Also, do not let the sun go down on your anger.

Once you go from sad to mad, don’t get stuck in your anger because anger can eat you from the inside out.

The purpose of this article isn’t to encourage anger. Its purpose is to let you know anger is closer to neutrality and acceptance than apathy is.

Anger makes you want to get up and do something.

3. Anger is a High Vibrational Emotion Than Sadness

Dr. Hawkins talks about the scale of consciousness (as shown above) in his book Power vs Force, a scale that spans from 1 to 1000Hz.

While human beings fluctuate through the different levels on the scale, Hawkins discovered there is a critical point where everything that calibrates below 200Hz makes the body go weak.

Both anger and sadness calibrate under 200Hz, but anger is higher on the scale. The emotions that make us feel sadness — shame, guilt, apathy, grief, and fear — vibrate under 100Hz. Anger vibrates at 150Hz, which is 50 Hz away from feeling the courage to make a change.

Both anger and sadness are low vibrational emotions, but one will help you feel better faster than the other.

That’s why I say it's better to be mad than sad, not that living your life mad is better. They both suck, but anger is empowering.

It’s hard to go from feeling grief (75Hz) to courage (200Hz) immediately. It’s almost impossible. But what is possible is going from anger (150Hz) to courage (200Hz). That can be achieved in a day, and all you have to do is to feel what you feel.

Final Thoughts

Anger and sadness both serve a purpose. When you’re sad, there’s something you need to look at and when you’re angry, there’s something you need to address.

Emotions are energy in motion that need to move from one state to another. Sadness shouldn’t be your base vibration. You can move to anger, but you shouldn’t remain in your anger. You could move to, let’s say, neutrality where you’re learning to be neutral about certain things.

You can use your anger as a channel to reach high vibrational emotions and not to get revenge or hurt others.

It should be a “transit” vibration meaning you just pass through it to get into higher vibrations like acceptance where you accept your situation for what it is and from there you can go higher up on the scale.
