 Anger as defined by the Oxford Languages dictionary is a strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure or hostility towards something or somebody. 

In recent times, there has been a spike in anger related violence which in most cases, there is always a victim. Anger is something we as individuals realize in our early years which are mostly mild, like the ice-cream vendor did not come today which in most cases is something we laugh about. As we then advanced later on in life, there is a gradual build up of this little spark of anger which arises from something minor to even greater complex outburst which in most cases have led to death, psychological issues and so many unpleasant consequences. Here is a true story like we say that never happened; Mr James x who lives down the street had always had issues with his neighbors who normally park in front of his driveway, the usual ranting continued for a while, and from our assessment , there was this build up of anger which was never checked. Overtime, it was time bomb just waiting to go up, well, it spiraled into something unpleasant, Mr. X owned a concrete mixer in which he used to run his construction company. On this fateful day, the car was not even paced along his driveway, but right inside his garage, that’s it! he muttered, I will teach this dudes some lessons they will never forget in a hurry. Reverses were made, and he took the hose and filled wet concrete into the car that parked in his garage, and making sure the work was perfectly done, he took a shovel to make things look neat. After about 45 mins of strenuous efforts, he went into the living room to get a bottle of water and behold; surprise! Dad, we bought you a car to mark your anniversary and it is parked right in the garage. You mean the car in the garge? Yes dad. Oh what have I done…. The anger of today sometimes manifest itself in such manners, there is a gradual build up of stress related anger, errors, our spouse, our children etc. So in our next post we will be diving in into how to spot the triggers, do it yourself therapy and trusted techniques by our gurus in the house who took their anger level to almost zero and enjoyed a happy life.
