But the person who escapes by drinking too much will feel physically rotten and regretful the following day. Work off your anger. Staging a temper tantrum may give you a temporary sense of righteousness, or even of power, but it will generally leave you feeling foolish and sorry in the end. The pent-up energy resulting from anger is better used to handle a distasteful chore, such as cleaning out the hog shed. After the initial anger, try later to first formulate the anger into words.
Anger sometimes is the end result of other feelings - such as frustration, fear or hurt.
Pinpointing the real feelings that led to the anger will help resolve not only -the immediate difficulty, but other problems as well. Anger and love may not seem to have much in common on the surface. But both are very powerful and most satisfying when they can be felt and expressed in similar ways - openly and honestly. Far too often, anger is not expressed openly, and that is where problems begin. For example, a wife may blow up at her husband for cleaning his ducks in her kitchen.
