| Healthy Anger |
| |
Everybody feels anger
from time to time. People have been documented feeling
anger since biblical times, when God was considered to be
angry. Babies even exhibit signs that are interpreted as anger,
such as crying or screaming. Anger is not
in any way unique to people. Animals also have the ability
to feel and express anger. In our personal lives, we get angry
over at least one thing on almost a daily
basis ; whether it be on the job, with a spouse
or a beloved one, or perhaps with a figure of authority.
Many psychologists have written about anger, and have discussed
the relationship between anger and fear.
Each of the individuals that comprise humanity
possesses at least some kind of phobia, in the same way that
each one is capable of being filled with anger. Plato was
the first to suggest that anger was a imbalance.
Anger is still seen as an imbalance by many of today's psychologists.
Since Plato, anger has suffered a bad reputation. However,
some scientists today think that letting off steam
and showing your anger is as healthy as laughing
our hearts out. What's your stand? |
