The Irony In Getting Angry

As human beings, we experience a panoply of feelings that ultimately are the cause of our evolution and the creation of our character. Some are good, some are bad, but the root of it all lies in the fact that they are essential in the development of our character.

Feelings are internal, however oftentimes they cause us to be reactive to the world around us.

In this article, I want to focus on one particular emotion, ANGER.

I find it to be quite a peculiar feeling, one that can be quite misleading, one that has been wrongfully interpreted in the course of the history of humans.

I dare you to do an introspection. Answer this question, as honestly as you’re willing to be with yourself.

When you get angry with someone or with something, in your perception, are your reactive behaviors in some way negatively impacting the cause of your anger?

Your screams, name-calling, throwing things, or being violent, does any of that make you feel like you’re retaking the “power” you lost for being affected by that external obstacle?

But tell me, is it really what is happening?

Or is it perhaps quite the opposite? Are you stripping yourself out of the control you have over yourself and freely and willingly passing it on to someone else, maybe even to a trivial unworthy, irrelevant situation?

All this simply, exclusively, because you lack control over your own emotions.

Why does this happen? Why do most people feel like getting angry, screaming, throwing shit, and punching walls make them any more brave, tough, powerful, or however you wish to describe and perceive it?

Ironic, isn’t it?

How does one being reactive achieves the opposite effect? How allowing yourself to retaliate gives the other person or situation more relevancy than they have…

Keep this in mind!

You’re the one attributing the power, you’re the one allowing external factors to control how you’re gonna feel an entire day, week, perhaps even a whole month, year, or in extremely sad cases your entire life.

When you get angry with someone your perception is that you’re in some way impacting that other person by expressing how pissed you are. But is that really what’s happening?
