We can go on quoting endless cases of anger, annoyance, rage, irritation, frustration etc experienced by the human folk globally relating to all ages, status in the society on every day basis. There is absolutely no exception even for a single individual whether alive or even dead. The frequency of anger/irritation/annoyance/rage and even the degree of its nature may vary from one individual to another, but the fact remains that it happens at some point of their life. At the best it could be concealed with lot of effort, with the adverse happenings of their precious health. If somebody really claims to have not experienced this natural emotion either he must be lying or not knowing its true meaning. Even the so-called sanyasis, religious leaders and rishis have expressed it and also reacted violently by cursing or causing damages to the source of occurrence.

Hence we all know what anger is, and we have all felt it whether as a fleeting annoyance or as full fledged rage. Psychologists claim that anger is a completely normal, usually healthy human emotion –just like any other human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to various problems at your work place, spoil healthy relationships between friends and relatives and also affect the overall quality of one’s life. ANGER is “an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation to intense fury of RAGE”-according to CHARLES SPEILBERGER, a psychologist who specializes in the study of anger. Our angers are of different types in the sense that for some of them we cannot visibly exhibit but digest with lot of effort. Anger with our boss or people of power and wealth cannot be demonstrated except with peril of your job, or suffering by humiliation, position or money. Many times an average individual stores up all his anger and aversion for his employer until that fateful day when he gets some better job and releases all his venom and vengeance to the glee of his colleagues who for the time remain quiet and wait for their own chance. But such digested angers are only temporarily solved and waiting for a sitting duck in the form of their wife, children or other helpless targets. The family members are also accustomed to the out burst of the bread winner and don’t take it seriously as they are aware that at the working place some distasteful thing might have happened. But nowadays one cannot afford to slap even a cleaning boy for spilling tea on his costly suit as the whole mechanism of the office may be paralyzed and the well dressed gentleman may also be forced to tender apology.
