Anger itself is neither good nor bad. It's what we do when we're angry that matters. Anger is a tool that helps us to read and respond to the social situations that bother us. But how can we keep it under control?
It's normal to think that getting angry is bad and many times we punish ourselves for doing so. But contrary to popular belief, research indicates that anger increases optimism, creativity and efficiency(效率). In addition, studies suggest that anger can lead to more successful negotiations at work as well as in our personal lives.
In fact,suppressing.(抑制)anger can be very bad for your health. In this sense, Dr, Ernest Harburg performed a study by monitoring a group of adults. What he found is that the men and women who suppressed their anger as a response to an unjust attack had a higher risk of developing bronchitis(支气管炎),suffering from heart attacks, and were more likely to die before their colleagues who let their anger surface when they felt bothered.
When anger arises,we feel the need to either prevent or put an end to this powerful emotion for the sake of our well-being or the well-being of those we care about. But this act of kindness, sympathy,love or justice isn't beneficial in this way. However,it's definitely a good thing to be cautious when anger appears. Expressing your anger can be appropriate with certain people at certain times. The question lies in how to do it without losing control. The key to expressing your anger is to find the appropriate tone for expressing what it is that upsets you. But to avoid unnecessary shouting, hitting, or other violent reactions, it's worth taking a moment to step back and think, even though we may be in the middle of an argument with someone.
