Answer 1

Anger is an emotion that can easily take over, if you let it. It is not useful, in my opinion. It does cause delusion, same as love does.

Answer 2

I like your follow up question to your previous one.
MY definition of anger is a state of mind (a life condition)
It can be an emotion that can blind people and lead them to destructive tendencies (which we already have as a potential). However it is an integral part of our lives. We cannot separate ourselves from it. That would be akin to being totally emotionless. (Although I've seen some mental patients that have that condition) (ie Sociopaths)
If are NOT angry over the atrocities that are going on in the world (children being raped and tortured) then I would say you don't belong with the human race. (I don't mean YOU personally). Maybe such a person never was exposed to such a condition. Maybe they were in a protected environment where such things don't happen to them or their families. IT IS NOT extinguishing your anger that is the key to peace. IT IS achieving peace DESPITE our anger.
What we do with our emotion THAT is the key.
Just MY OPINION

Thank you for the question.

Answer 3

Anger, as an emotion, is the antithesis of love and is of the devil. It is not a godly emotion. Can there be righteous anger? Perhaps that is what Christ felt when he chased the moneychangers out of the temple in Jerusalem. For us, crossing the line from righteous anger to regular anger is too fine to detect and should be avoided. We are taught to discipline with sharpness when moved upon by the Holy Ghost and to show forth afterwards, an increase of love toward the person disciplined. How do you know that your discipline is motivated by the HG instead of just your own frustration? Some say to take some minutes to reflect on your situation before you do anything in order to difuse any regular anger.
I believe it is a lifelong exercise to control our emotions.

Answer 4

Anger is simply a negative but normal human emotion. I think it is ok to express justified or righteous anger as if you don't people will walk all over you. Bitter, unforgiving or jealous anger is not good though as it eats away at you & is not healthy. This type of anger needs to be dealt with at the root of the problem with counselling if a person can't let go of it.

Answer 5

Anger is an emotional response common to all land animals from reptiles up. It is a defense system. When an animal detects danger, it will automatically assess the situation and instinctively determine whether fight or flight is the best response. A decision to fight will switch the alert to anger, flight switches to fear.
Anyone who thinks that animals are not capable of anger has never seen two dogs go at it.

Answer 6

The ability to be angered is proportional to intelligence... the animal kingdom reveals this to us.

With intelligence, we are able to recognize something as harmful to ourselves or someone else. The resulting emotional response drives us to action to remedy the thing causing the harm.

We like to call some things "righteous anger". It helps contrast good anger against "selfish anger". Instead of someone being harmed, when you're angered because someone is hindering your pleasure or otherwise stopping something that the general population thinks should be stopped... we think of it as non-righteous anger.

Answer 7

If people were tolerant of one another's differences, then there would be no need for the anger emotion. It is our lack of tolerance and understanding that provokes the anger emotion. We are unwilling to accept varying thoughts and opinions from our own. Therefore we become angry. acceptance is the key.36

Answer 8

Anger is an emotion. It is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. It is also associated with lust, another deadly sin. Anger can make you want to kill and hurt people, even yourself, by going insane. We as humans usually get angry when we want someting we cna't have. It may be something someone else has, or in my case, when my parents don't let me go out when I want to. I get very angry and I go in my room and blow off some steam. 9 x out of 10, anger stays trapped inside of us for days, weeks, and even years. I usually learn, live, get mad, and let go. I dn't want anger controllign my life because it can.

Answer 9

Anger is only an emotion.

What you do with, or allow with your emotions can cause sin or edification.

Be angry and sin not, the bible tells us. Nothing wrong with anger if you have channeled it through positive and constructive pathways.

When Jesus overturned the table, that was called "righteous indignation" or anger. He did nothing wrong except shake the foundations of the traditions and theologies of the religious leaders of His day.

Answer 10

Look closely and you will see it is a bio-chemical sensation, certain breath pattern and a negative pattern of thoughts. When these come together, they can either be projected outward as anger, Or in awareness just "let go or allowed to pass". Anger in any form is an attack.
