Many people, however, express their anger in harmful ways. They shoot the rude driver, kick the dog or a loved one or throw a fist through a window. Often they excuse themselves by saying they have an uncontrollable temper. We can all maintain some control over our anger. Part of that folly is the mistreatment of people around us.
Angry people are quick to take offense, to use strong language or to shout at others.
Often unable to see another person's point of view or their own faults, their moment of unleashed anger can drive a wedge between themselves and others. Enraged people are often lonely. No one wants to be around them or their obnoxious behavior. Anger is also destructive to our relationship with God. St. Paul warns, And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
