Anger

Anger is often described as something that is really destructive not only to character but also to relationships and sometimes even to economics and legal status. But this is because anger has always been portrayed in the negative sense.
Anger is not always bad. It is bad only in the way it is being channeled. When we turn the anger in us to a positive flow we can enjoy huge success. Usually the reason for anger is betrayal, defeat, abuse, insult, embarrassment or the inability to change a certain situation to our liking. But if we can channel the anger to fight out the odds in life we can achieve a great deal. Rather than resorting to revenge, tit for tat we can work towards changing the cause then we can change the situation/scenario to our liking more often than not.
For eg., a top actor was ridiculed, insulted and embarrassed during a movie night awards as he was a small time actor then. He left the auditorium without a word and he was very upset and angry. He vowed to himself that he would change the scenario where in he will be treated above the other stars and he worked for it. Eventually within a span of a decade reached to become a highest paid actor in India (ofcourse he is no more the highest paid actor).
Anger can give a person the drive to achieve something he possibly thought was out of his/her reach. The above is only an example. I am not here to advise but to merely emphasize on the fact at anger is not bad but it is the way we channel it is that makes it bad.
Do let me know what your thoughts are on this.
