What is anger really for? It is your baseline primal instinct for survival. It is kill or be killed. It is run away to fight another day. It is all these things.
When you are really angry someone has threatened your perceived existence. Is this true? It depends upon the person.
However, mastering your own anger is the key to any success at all in your life. One must feel their anger (but not harm or kill anyone with it) in order to move forward, be self aware, and to be wealthy or successful in any way. Otherwise, if you deny your anger you will always be a 2nd class citizen (no matter what anyone tells you).
The key to anger is to feel it and to figure out rationally why you are angry? This is very unpleasant and many people run from this. But, running from this also can mean your own death or someone else's. It really depends upon the maturity of the person doing this.
There are times when if someone is attacking you your anger might be useful for you to stay alive. Other times acting on your anger will only get you or someone else killed or maimed. And in our society you likely will do jail time or get executed if you act on your anger too.
But, if you deny your anger and try to act like everything is okay instead of feeling your pain and finding the root of it and finding out what you can do about your anger in some kind of rational way instead of killing yourself or someone else, your life (or someone else's life or both are over).
So, learning to be like a King or Queen who is ruling over one's anger is very important. Because only then will you be empowered enough to use your anger to move forward in your life because that is what it is for.
I can tell you straight that if I didn't always honor my anger I would never have become affluent. Never. But, when I realized how bad things could get in my 40s I began to pray to God to become a Custodian of God's Wealth and God granted my request. But, before I knew what to pray for first came fear, horror and extreme anger at what was happening in my life. Then came a prayer from realizing why I was so angry and then God answered my prayer and did what I asked. But, without righteous Anger, my prayer would not have been answered. In other words God and I agreed and everything changed in my life at that time in my 40s. But none of it would have been possible if I had denied my anger. I just would have been crazy or dead or like people you see walking down the road talking to themselves.
Denying anger and denying grief often results in people's deaths or insanity.
Extreme righteous anger can put a person in a temporary state of what I call unsanity(which is temporary). But, this just means you are going through an extreme transition in your life. So, honor your anger but keep yourself and all others alive or run away to fight another day. Survive first but don't deny your anger if you want to stay sane and alive through whatever comes in your life.
Most of your life might be peaches and cream. But, eventually we all are tested by life within an inch of our lives. Some make it through this and some don't. But, if you want to be one of the survivors always honor your anger. It is there to show you the way to stay alive through anything. And don't forget to pray if you are a praying person.
