Anger is one of the unpleasant emotions of all living organisms on earth. I do not know whether the organisms like virus, bacteria, amoeba, algae, fungi and plants also get angry? However, we know that insects like honeybee, wasps, and ants get angry if we disturb them. So anger is a universal phenomenon we find with every living being. When we get angry, we lose our temper, and try to shout and deliver unpleasant utterances which sometimes lead to physical attacks too. How do we get angry? When we are displeased with others or ourselves, this wretched emotion springs up, and change the normality of our life. We start disliking the people with whom we develop anger. Hence wise people always advise us not to get angry. However it is an emotion every one of us encounters sometimes in our life. Animals, when angry try to bark or bite. Is there any way to put off anger from our mind? The best way would be not to get angry. I am silly to say this.
Self-centered people who do not like others and others’ attitude and behavior get angry easily. When one’s right to live is challenged, one get s angry. If someone snatches the food one eats one gets angry. Children get angry when we do not allow them whatever they want to do. Similarly people get angry when the Government takes some drastic steps against their interests. In fact, getting angry is normal, but if we develop a habit of getting angry for every unreasonable matter, then it is wrong. Such people have to take care because excess anger is one of the symptoms of depression. Anger, very often has short life. Emotions do not stay for long. They come and go. In the same way anger also will come and go. We have to manage ourselves to adjust with anger. Animals become ferocious when they are angry. Since they cannot express in words, they show in action against their own kind, also towards human beings. Thus one can not escape anger. Therefore, anger live with us and we live with it. Let us try to be free from anger in order to achieve a peaceful life.
