It damages our lives, the lives of those we love and the lives of those we work with. When a person is angry he will forget everything good and only harp on the negative. Betty Doty a professional family Psychologist, in her book Shake the Anger Habit says that the cause of anger is that people believe that things ought to be a certain way. My spouse ought to be a certain way, the traffic ought be light when I am driving by, subordinates at work ought to know what I want before I ask. Life is never what angry people think it should be.
Anger blinds people from seeing the truth.
Here is just one scenario of anger. Immediately after getting married some people expect there new young wife to know how to fry eggs exactly the way they like it. After all, the diner you used to eat at knew how to make it. The egg and the anger have blinded this newlywed. He does not see that a new wife should concentrate on love.
