Is our anger getting out of hand?

Anger is an evil will tries to let human to do evil. Once anger takes over, we have no control to ourselves and give a damn to other. The incident you portraited is sick one. Killing in anger is disgusting. We should have control over our anger and fear. We must not let anger overtake us. Regarding the society, society itself is pathetic. They will never give us peace these day. They just try to point out our mistakes and they never try to appreciate our good sides.

I would like to think that it's because our foods are now laden with additives and preservatives that's why some people can't control their anger . And yes , even here , others were jailed because they killed somebody who overtook them or had an altercation with regards traffic.

Anger management depends on how to intervene this kind of people. In that case you mentioned, it seems his anger drawn to a more serious psychological problem.

@makaujackson,Your apprehensions are not baseless.The world is getting more and more intolerant.Our anger is taking over us.

Anger let loose can kill. I wonder why more and more will go to jail for life instead of using their brains and walk away from anger.

Thats sad im sure there were underlying problems that no one noticed

terrible that someone resorts to violence over something as trivial as that

This is sad. But I doubt that it's a new phenomenon. I'm sure things like that happened already in the stone age.

Yes, anger seems to be taking over. Watch the news. Even the political scene has turned violent. I remember a news story about a man who killed his brother because he ate the last slice of cake. People are angry. I think it has to do with the water. For years, we were told to flush medicines we did not use. All those anti depressants, tranquilizers, pain pills and other things made their way to the drinking water. Who knows what else we are taking in with the water?

That argument was just a cover for deeper anger between the two, I'm sure.

I think perhaps we are. It is a really silly thing to argue so passionately about that you lose your life.

Yes...anger is controlling some instead of them...controlling anger

This is natural for a person to get angry but we need to keep it in control. Yoga and meditation can be a good options if one often loosing control. Before anger control you, you should control it.

Anger surely is getting out of hand emotion and needs to be controlled and people who have breakdowns should take anger managment classes to vent out this anger

I have seen a lot of anger recently as well and have to say it is what drove to raise the question "Why did you say that?" in a discussion as well (see below). Stupid little things seem to be tearing our world apart.

It does seem that civil discourse is giving way to emotional diatribes and violence to settle arguments.

Anger, calm which is better? Please select the better option for the angry men.

Nowadays, priorities keeps changing in one's life and this has lead to expectations , and even worse unfulfilled expectations in most of us. Many a time people try of methods of distracting themselves from pain , anger, frustration and all. But many a times, these emotions are so strong that they started controlling us and harming us in a equal order. I have heard of severe consequences people face when they lost control on their anger, frustration and tend to ruin their own life.
