How do I get angry?

Date: August 19, 2021 Author: Sequoia *“Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:* *Ephesians 4:26”*  Before I start this, let us first disclose the meaning of anger. According to Merriam Webster, ***anger is a strong and unpleasant feeling because something wrong was done, and it makes you want to hurt or get revenge to the person who gave that undesirable feelings to you.*** I am 100% sure that we all experienced being angry here and if you haven't felt that emotion yet, then I guess I must bow down to you. Lol. Anger is actually normal because it is just one type of emotion that a human can go through. Again, you cannot be called as part of the human race if you haven't experience it. However, I will not discuss it any further because it isn't the main subject of this article. I just provided a preview about this particular feeling to you all, so that we will have a clearer undertanding about it. Just kidding, I just want to make this article longer that's why. Forgive me. Lol. ________________________ **Is being angry a sin?** You want the truth? Well, it's not. Atleast, for me. Hihi. Being angry is not a sin because as what I have said, it is a normal feeling or reaction. However, what makes it a sin is when you do some actions that will hurt somebody or yourself because of this emotion. **Is it easy to control anger?** Definitely not! We can all relate with this am I right? It is so hard to control emotions especially this one. We need to have a strong self-control before we can manage this emotion. However, it doesn't permit us to do unacceptable and immoral things just because of this lame reason. ________________________ Perhaps you were wondering why I am talking about this things. Actually, I've come up with this idea because of @FarmGirl 's article entitled Anger Games. https://read.cash/@FarmGirl/anger-games-52c8fef6 I got thise idea because of that piece and I wanted to give credits to ma'am farmgirl for that. ________________________ In this article, I will be exposing the things I do whenever I am angry. **Cry Baby** Of course, this has to be on top. This is actually my first and common reaction when I am mad. I don't know but my anger will just turn into tears that I can't hold. And to be honest? Sometimes I hate myself during that cry baby moments. I felt like I am such a weakling and I don't like that. **Punch walls** I can still remember how my classmates play on me and hide my book. That book is very important by the way. I really got angry about it to the point that I need to do something in order for it to be gone or lesson. I forcefully punched the wall and it really bruised my hands. I haven't felt the pain at that moment maybe because of my anger. But after it vanished, my hands also started to numb. **Throw things** Okay. I know that this is not good and I really regret doing this before. I've lost a lot of precious things, especially phone because of that action. Don't worry, I already stop this reaction a long time ago. **Lock myself in room** I don't know why but locking my self in my room is my one way of releasing my anger. I don't wanna hear noises whenever I am in the peak of my emotions. **Stabbed my finger** Actually, this was an accident. I was so angry that moment but that I didn't notice that I was gripping my pen very hard to the point that it got broken and I accidentally stabbed my own pinky finger. **Shout** This only happened once and I am so frustrated that time. I didn't mean it tho. ________________________ **Closing Thought** As you have observed, I haven't tried hurting other people because of my anger. I always prefer hurting myself than others. Those were my ways of expressing my anger before. Yes, that was only before. I decided to stop doing those things because it isn't good for me. The only thing I do now whenever I am mad is cry my heart out until I cool down. Disclaimer: Photo not mine. It's from unsplash.com
