Things Worth Considering

In the movie Network (1976) – actor Peter Finch's character bellows- ‘I’m mad as Hell and I am not going to take it anymore”. Anger is a very powerful experience - it affects every system in our body, to say nothing of the impact it has on our psyches. Anger is not considered a primary emotion. Ideally anger is a response to a threat, real or imagined. Problem is people have learned to live in an angry state.They are always ready to take on the world, any fight will do. Anger makes us feel powerful. It is a great mask that covers our weakest feelings all the while convincing others and our self how strong we are. The first thing it covers is our fear. In order to not feel or show fear, we display anger. Anger is very much about control. People who have felt small,or insignificant, will do big anger. When someone calls us names, shames or humiliates, it is now toxic. Learn not to accept toxic anger in your life. Toxic people rarely become non-toxic. time to move on!
