Knowledge overrides Anger

I sincerely believe that anger comes from a very primal place within us. Acting in anger can be a sign of someone that has not thought things through. If something frustrates me, I try to educate myself on the matter. Sometimes I learn that my feelings towards those things are not valid and I must check myself. That is just the way of life. This is why I try hard not to assume.

I repressed anger for 8 years, not knowing that what I was doing was creating a bomb of emotion within myself. It took many years to get rid of all of that, because it was a lot. Acting in anger is actually an impulse control issue, because no matter how angry I was I never did anything that I regretted later. It's because I know how to control impulse. What I have learned is you let it out quickly, even if that means making a scene. But once you get over it, and control it, it can be channeled easier. In the past anger felt like fire throughout my chest and burning all around through my shoulders. Now it feels like flames on my arms, and doesn't control my heart. And I'm getting better at dissipating it before I even absorb it to begin with. It's very helpful learning control.
