Learn to have Power over Anger

Anger is one of the many emotions we experience as humans. Anger could be good or bad depending on how we choose to express it. Anger is a feeling and feelings are put there by God, but you know that every thing God have created can be abused; so it is with anger, it could be channeled for good or for bad.

Anger have to be instigated from an external source before compelling you from within to retaliate. This eternal sources are everywhere, ranging from your closest friends to what we see on the news.

Anger should be controlled, but there are a few wrong ways it could be done. We have been taught this or picked it up as an habit, but it is the wrong way to control it. Here are some of the wrong ways:

• We have been taught to just bottle it up,
• We have been taught to squeeze at something or yell at a pillow and, 
• Sometimes we just throw up a fit.

But there are better ways to taking care of our anger.

So what is that way? the bible says we can be angry but we should sin not, but what does it mean to be angry but sin not? Firstly what is sin? it is anything that violates the law of "Love God and Love People"; so sin is transgressing from this simple law. So, anger can go against this law that is why the bible teaches that we could be angry but sin not.

Now that sin has been explained, what does it mean "be angry but sin not"? it means be angry but do not offend your neighbor, be angry but do not cause bitterness, strife or malice. So how can I do this, how can I be angry but not cause all this tension?

The way to do this is to control what you say. You could be angry but learn not to say anything because when you talk whilst angry, you are bound to say something terrible and would regret. Now I am not saying you should bottle inside your feelings, what I am saying is that you should walk away from that situation and resolve it later when you are calm.

During this time you have walked away you can do this things:

• Ask yourself why you became upset by the situation. you will be shocked by what you will learn
• Consider how you will resolve the issue, like how you will approach this person that have done this or how to tackle the problem if it was a situation involving a couple of people. Ponder on how you will come out with an amicable solution
