My persoanl take on Anger

At the most basic level, Anger is when hostility takes over. Its occurrence might be the result of a number of things, including frustration, inability to deal with an unruly person or just the witnessing of some hate-breeding event. It is revealed in facial expressions, body language, noticeable physiological reactions and overt acts meant to cause offence. Although it may be considered a natural and healthy response that has evolved to enable us to deal with threats, its unbridled form leads to a poor performance at whatever endeavour the angry individual has ventured to undertake.

Depiction of Anger by Austrian graphics artist Franz Miklis

Revenge is a common outcome of anger. This usually entails some carefully thought-out plan which somehow counterbalances the aggressive outbursts which are the initial reaction. By concocting a plot to make matters even, those on the afflicted side need to do set aside some of their craving to pursue justice. Otherwise, time spent in anger and the subsequent musing of how things should be is as good as wasted.

It is also little wonder that this is the most adverse emotion to the writing of poetry. Diminished mental faculties make for a hard time concentrating on anything. Rather, this temporary spell of insanity coerces the individual to seek a short term patch-up, even though taking a more time consuming approach may provide a better solution.
