I have been ordered to go to Anger Management classes by the state. I am not going to go into the reasons at this time, suffice it to say I do not have an anger problem, especially as defined by the class I have been ordered to attend.
Anger is an emotion that many want to see eliminated. That is so wrong on so many levels. Anger is natural and to suppress it is to bottle it up and that leads to an explosion. That is where so many people get hurt. Express your anger in a positive way. That's what they say, at any rate. Anger is not a "positive" emotion. How can you express it in a positive way?
Easy.
Tell the person at whom you are angry that they have caused you to be angry. Do it when you are angry. Not later, when you cool off. That will not allow you to release that anger. This is all coming from what I have learned in my life. If it is not a person, but, say for the sake of arguement, a government branch or official. You will almost never get the chance to vent your anger at the object of inspiration in this situation. But you can still vent it. There is no way a judge will allow you to say, "You're fucking wrong!". You will end up in jail on contempt charges. You can, however, state the fact that said judge is acting on incomplete or incorrect information and jepardizing the very freedoms he or she was elected or appointed to protect in the first place by not allowing common sense into the courtroom. This opens a door for you to make an arguement, not just be arguementative. Work it out in your head before you speak. Acknowledge your emotions, but do not be ruled by them. Let the piddley shit go, face your anger and voice it, but do not lose control. If you do this, eventually you will not feel like you will lose control because you have faced all of the factors that have made you angry and let them know they have made you angry, thus not bottled anything up and carried it to the next incident. No anger carried forward, no threat to self control.
Be angry. It is natural. But be smart about it.
Voice your anger at the time you are angry. It will only help in the long run.
