Anger Management

Often times, our own tempers are our worse enemies. This category is dedicated to presenting resources for managing anger in a controlled, healthy way. If you have problems managing your anger, please learn more about how to control it. A good definition of the various forms of anger is presented on a Seven Deadly sins site, and is quoted here: "Anger-ire-rage-fury-indignation-wrath A strong feeling of displeasure and usually of antagonism. An intense emotional state induced by displeasure. ANGER, the most general term, names the reaction but in itself conveys nothing about intensity or justification or manifestation of the emotional state. IRE, more frequent in literary contexts, may suggest greater intensity than anger, of with an evident display of feeling. RAGE suggests loss of self-control from violence of emotion. FURY is overmastering destructive rate that can verge on madness. INDIGNATION stresses righteous anger at what one considers unfair, mean, or shameful. WRATH is likely to suggest a desire or intent to revenge or punish." Source: The seven deadly sins at http://members.tripod.com/RaelM/Anger.html
