CAUSES OF ANGER

“Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one”

•Anger is a response to feelings of unhappiness, which in turn arise whenever we meet with unpleasant circumstances. Whenever we are prevented from fulfilling our wishes, or forced into a situation we dislike in short, whenever we have to put up ' with something we would rather avoid our uncontrolled mind reacts by immediately feeling unhappy. This uncomfortable feeling can easily turn into anger, and we become even more disturbed than before.

•The other main reason we become unhappy and angry is because we are faced with a situation we do not want or like. Every day we encounter hundreds of situations we do not like, from stubbing our toe or having a disagreement with our partner, to discovering that our house has burnt down or that we have cancer; and our normal reaction to all of these occurrenCes is to become unhappy and angry. However, try as we might, we cannot prevent unpleasant things happening to us. We cannot promise f that for the rest of the day nothing bad will happen to us; we cannot even promise‘ that we shall be alive to see the end of the day.
