Many people would consider anger to be a negative emotion, the same way hatred and envy are but I do not necessarily think that’s the case for this emotion. Yes, anger can be quite destructive but it can often be a helpful tool to reflect on yourself and your surrounding.
In today’s post, I wanted to share with you my thoughts as to whether anger is a necessity or a toxicity. As always, if you’re interested – keep on reading!
Beaucoup considèrent la colère comme une émotion négative, au même titre que la haine et l’envie, mais je ne pense pas que ce soit forcément le cas. Certes, la colère peut être très destructrice, mais elle peut aussi être un outil précieux pour réfléchir sur soi-même et sur son environnement.
Dans cet article, je voulais partager avec vous mes réflexions sur la colère : est-elle nécessaire ou toxique ? Comme toujours, si cela vous intéresse, poursuivez votre lecture !

THE OVERWHELMING RAGE
The reason why most people would categorise anger as a negative emotion is due to the fact that it’s one of those emotions where you lack total control of if you were to let it consume you. There is no such thing as a healthy emotion if it prevents you from enjoying your life and especially, if it doesn’t allow you to think clearly and rationally.

THE PROTECTIVE ANGER
With that said, anger can allow you to recognise and figure both yourself and your surrounding. Why are you always angry? Why do you feel yourself to be angry when you go to this specific place? Why are you often angry with this person? Anger isn’t a part of anybody’s personality, it is an emotion we are inherently born with but it doesn’t encompass anybody as a person.
If you find yourself to be experiencing this emotion on a regular basis then you have to ask yourself who or what is breaking your boundaries, or why are you holding onto so much emotion towards yourself, another person or a place, which will give you the opportunity to make the necessary changes in order to live your life with fulfilment and contentment.

IS THERE SUCH THING AS BALANCE WHEN IT COMES TO ANGER?
Life is way too short to be living under an emotion which doesn’t only drain you but also sucks any joy or peace out of you. You need anger in order to establish boundaries and mainly in order to stand up for yourself but don’t build up that anger to the point you don’t recognise yourself anymore.

I think of anger as an idiot light on the dashboard of life. It’s not a good or bad but pretending it’s not there can make things very bad.
IDK if I want to control my emotions as much as I want to learn how to “deal with” them.
I feel people do indeed need to (learn to) manage their behavior, which (I feel) is not the same thing as managing emotions.

There seems to be many who don’t know how to manage their emotions – especially when it comes to being angry. I’ve known people who cried at the drop of the hat — overwhelmed with sadness and hopelessness. I’ve witnessed people who seem angry all the time. We’ve missed the boat in teaching people, perhaps starting when they were young, how to handle those BIG feelings — good or bad!
