There is a time and place for anger. It can be used to start a movement or as motivation to change something in life. However, it shouldn’t be used continuously and can harm those who over use it.

Anger can be a dangerous emotion. It’s true that anger breeds more anger. It can consume all other emotions if left unchecked. An entire personality can change and cloud perception of situations.

One thing that the emotion anger doesn’t like is being angry alone. Which is one reason why so many social media feeds are filled with angry comments. It feeds, seeking out more, wanting to grow.

It can become a state of mind that continuously needs to be fed with more situations or media to keep the anger going, almost like a high of sorts. So, one seeks out these things and can ignore the good things in the world or in their life.

Some who are reading this may feel anger in them now and you are entitled to feel that way. But why is anger building inside of you? Knowing the reason behind the angry, can help you direct it towards creating a solution rather than spreading unneeded or turning it internally, which is just as bad. Try and quell the emotion when you realize you may have no reason to be angry. The world can do without any extra.

So my take, is there is a time and place. Don’t rush to feeling angry. And let the emotion go. Anger will only grow inside you and fill you with pain. Making you see the world and all that’s in it as bad. Hate and anger tend to go hand and hand. Please be careful with using this emotion. Using it sparingly, and don’t let it consume you.
I myself practice daily. Because we all grow throughout our lives.

Side note: Showing passion, can sometimes come across as anger, depending on a person’s personality. But there is a clear difference. I hope if there is anyone out there that suffers from abuse, please reach out for help. Know, that YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
