The Problem of Anger The Problem of Anger Anger seems to be a pervasive emotion.
Doctors meet up with angry patients regularly.
Pastors and counsellors encounter angry people trying to deal with personal problems or problems in the family and at work. Parents and teachers see children who seem angry at their siblings, angry at the system, angry at their parents, or angry for no particular reason. Yet, the problem of anger often goes unaddressed, and it seldom just goes away. In fact, anger has its positive aspects. Like pain, anger signals a need for correction.
