Anger~~Everyone has it!!

Hot topic of the day~anger!!

So everyone has anger, and anger is an emotion. Sometimes anger is necessary. For instance if a person time and time again keeps forgiving someone for something and doesn't get angry about it, that is an emotion that they aren't using.
What you do about anger is what matters!! Are you a person that "gets even" when mad? Well, that isn't solving anything because you get even, then they get even, then it is your turn etc...
Healthy anger, goes like this....John, i am angry with you, yesterday we agreed to go to the movies together, i was there at 7:00, where were you?? Anger that is expressed in a healthy way is DIRECT anger, stating to someone how you feel directly instead of talking behind their back or indirectly trying to tell them how you feel.
Unhealthy anger, goes like this...John, you stood me up yesterday at the movies, therefore i let the air out of your tires on your car...In this way, the person didn't admit they were angry with John.

So what do you do if you are angry with someone, you told them, and you still feel the rage. Well, maybe talking to someone else about the situation is a good idea, or maybe taking the anger out on your house and cleaning it from top to bottom is another idea. However, taking the anger out on that person, "to get even" is never the answer.
