Anger- POTD

‘Anger is one letter short of danger.’ Excess of it, our life can endanger. Anger when grown into aggression and violence, Works in vicious ways and is a great malaise It fosters hatred and ruptures many hearts, Angry words can wound and pierce like darts. But Anger becomes a sublime emotion, If we know how to handle it without explosion. It becomes sometimes so constructive, Quashing the fallacy that anger at all costs is disruptive. Many a time it has proved so positive. And sometimes it turns very productive. When anger is turned against situations And not against people aiming at their degradation. It enables us to rectify the discrepancies, Through our resentment to change the disparities. It fuels us with the energy to voice against injustice. Bringing solutions to the voiceless in their crisis. But never let anger consume your heart and soul. It sure will take a mighty toll. When anger bubbles and boils, catch the cue. Wait a minute before the fire devours you. As humans, we are likely to lose our temper. But remember, to it, never surrender! Holding a long-standing. grudge, Is like having an unerasable smudge. It will always leave a stain, And lead us to irrepressible pain. However, it is not advisable to suppress anger, It can lead to irreparable danger. But remember, when emotions of hatred are let loose, There is hardly any chance for a truce. A person under violent rage Is like a prisoner in a cage. Anger, more often is a negative emotion. Landing us in violent commotion. Anger against people steals all our energy, But when it aims at solutions, it enhances synergy. When angry, forgetting all decorum, one may shout. Don’t let your resentment thoughtlessly blurt out. Never let the tongue make a tempestuous tirade. Tackle this tiny tab of tissue and tame its blade!

Dear Valsa, there's so much wisdom within. We are human, which means we will get angry at different times. Knowing how to control the tongue is best, when this emotion begins to boil over. Taking a deep breath and walking away is one way, writing those thoughts down is another. This deep and powerful, all at the same time. Congratulations my sweet friend, on Poem of the Day. Many wonderful blessings to you. Hugs, Brandy

Congratulations on the POTD! Anger management has helped many with wellness. Before you speak ask yourself three question's 1. Is it kind 2. Is it necessary 3. Is it helpful. Best regards and serenity, Valsa, Robert

Ambivalence about anger Valsa, it certainly can be a destructive force, and a liberating one all at once, extremely dangerous in this modern day world, congratulations on POTD, Grrr I’m so angry with all these facsimile comments lol! Cheers David

Dear Valsa, This is such a very probing poem that delves deeply into the emotion of anger.. In my life I've seen a few friends so consumed by it, they were toxic. I think anger is often fear based. Happy you differentiated between righteous and toxic anger. Congrats on this wonderful POTD dear poetess

Hello Valsa, anger can make a person kill when in a rage. In that way it is dangerous. When a person is angry like that, it is best to leave them alone Until they have calmed down. blessings my friend. /Darlene/ Congratulations on the POTD Blessing /Darlene/ Hug.
