Have you heard that before? Can something really make you mad? You may have heard that being angry is a choice one makes. That being true, it doesn't really help me not to be angry. So I like to look at it another way. Something will stir emotions in me and I have to sort out these emotions to keep anger from coming forth. It's not choosing to be angry, it's choosing to stop anger from beginning or progressing.
Anger is closely connected to other feelings such as disappointment, jealousy, guilt, and fear. So when these other feelings are felt, we humans are prone to become angered. But if we can manage these other emotions, anger will be subdued. However, if anger is expressed and continues to build, many other emotions will follow. Anger doesn't help; it hurts. When I am being motivated by anger, I am an irrational reactor instead of a logical actor. By keeping anger controlled, I can make better judgments related to my actions. So just choose to stop anger, wherever it may be.
Oh, that's not so bad.
