| Is Anger Holy? |
 |
Many people have this perception that anger is a negative emotion. It must be controlled and suppressed. But is it? Are there any benefits of anger? Is anger 'holy' in any way? Please share. |

Holy is " Regarded with or worthy of worship or veneration" - is that how you see anger? |

Let anger be a catalyst for a little self-examination, and ask yourself how many times you plan to get upset over the same old thing. If you're sick of repeating the same scene over and over, and you're really ready to be done with that lesson and move on to the next one, you'll find it easier to give yourself permission to admit your role in the situation. Once you've done that, start making some changes and let it go. For good.... |

I doubt anger is holy, emotions are neither good nor bad they just exist. You can use it as a device of destruction or you can learn from it and use it for construction...  |

Anger is an emotion, and just like all emotions, it can be motivating to beneficial ends as well as maladaptive.
The evolutionary roots of anger lie in responding aggressively, getting revenge upon, hurting whatever evoked that anger in the first place. In lower animals, this serves to deter things from being aggressive towards you. If something harms you, you harm it back. While in that one encounter, two wrongs won't make a right; in the future your opponent will know that if it attacks you there will be negative consequences for it, and will be less likely to attack.
In humans everything is more complicated. Often people will respond aggressively when they shouldn't; they feel anger illogically, when they perceive someone is hurting them when they really aren't. Sometimes people feel anger towards something they cannot express it to: their parents, police, etc. Then it only brings malaise.
The key is using the anger you feel as motivation to do something you actually want, something productive. It is channeling your anger as good motivation rather than mindless aggression. |

Anger is the emotion. Generally i don't prefer it but once i get anger then every body fear while looking me so don't waste this emotion for small reasons. |

| Anger... |

I feel that anger is simply an expression of how passionately connected we are to a circumstance. I also feel there is a negative stigma attached only because out of anger, we often times act aggressive.
If we can learn to control anger and express it via a channel that allows us to understand why we are angry in the first place, then the emotion will help our mind body and soul to evolve...which is, in my opinion, the only reason we experience life anyhow.
If we can't / don't learn to control our anger, we are not mature in our understanding of the world around us - one might say..."ignorant". I feel great sorrow for people who experience anger in a negative manner because often times, it is not because of the lack of passion...rather the abundance of passion that ignites the aggression.
Do not confuse passion with acceptance however. Passion can be a very self-gratifying, inward emotion. Acceoptance, without condition, can only be an outward expression. |

I see anger as more like an 'unholy' form of strength or courage. Something to accept and understand, sure, but venerate? nah. |

Anger if not shown to others can be a sign of strength in fact. Anger if what makes people achieve new heights in life.If someone if angry at himself for not achieving something, then he or she may work even harder to attain that goal.However, uncontrolled anger is self destructive. |

No... Anger is when your brain can't handle all the input coming into it.
Rage is holy... or spiritual, it's less mechanical...
Wraith, rage... it's not anger...
Not sure what fury is...
Anger... see... shorting a fuse... unable to cope...

It's different from rage... anger is closer to frustration than rage...
Rage is something that builds up over time... anger is something that strikes you...
I guess suppressing rage, is a good way to let a good shock of frustration let loose some pent up anger...
I'm still sticking with rage being entirely different than anger.
One is exhausting and taxing to the mind and body, the other is just adrenaline.
Well maybe not adrenaline, that's what happens when you put your rage or anger to action.
So anger, it's more like short circuit, or short fuse. Rage is something that comes from the spirit or soul.
Anger you can release with a scream or a yell. Rage, if you scream or yell it builds with intensity.
