Is it your Goal to Get Rid of your Anger?

It is, in my mind, impossible to stop anger from entering your system. That feeling has been with humans for centuries, and will be with us for centuries more... as it should!

The question is not can I stop anger from occurring, what do I do with it once it comes in.

Most people shove it deep down and try not to let it out, resulting in unhealthy thoughts, emotions or behaviours,... including letting it build up till we blow up at something 'meaningless'.

If we are successful at eliminating our anger or if we have, unfortunately, fully internalized that it wrong to be angry and we have NO anger... zero, we may find our selves questioning our identity and if we even have one.

You may find that you let others cross healthy boundaries... again and again and again until you essentially have none.

Anger can be such a destructive energy, but it can also be a positive force. which needs to be appreciated, acknowledged and respected... but it also needs to be understood.

Is it a healthy anger that maintains your identity or is it an unhealthy anger that leaves you feeling shame and regret?
