When we feel angry, we need to ask ourselves, ‘ Why am I feeling this way?’ Anger isn’t the first feeling to come, though it’s generally the first one to show outwardly. If we grasp this point, we’ll be well on our way to dealing with anger in constructive ways. It’s a secondary response that hides a deeper or more sensitive issue. “It’s vitally important to understand anger is the outside emotion sent to protect the inner, more sensitive aspects of our hearts. “Unmet expectations are the second area in which anger manifests itself and leads to feelings of frustration” ( source) “First, anger may indicate that we have unmet needs and are feeling hurt” ( source) When this happens, our anger becomes self-centered and self-righteous.” ( source)
Our energy becomes focused on persevering and protecting our pride and our interests. Anger that is not bridled nor righteously motivated can become a dangerous force. “When you and I are angry, we tend to sin a lot. “If you let anger get the best of you, it will reveal the worst of you.” ( source)
