Anger is a response to feelings of discontent and unhappiness. When we have to put up with something we would rather avoid – our uncontrolled mind reacts by immediately feeling unhappy. This uncomfortable feeling can then turn into anger, and we become even more disturbed than before. It is an emotional state that may range from minor irritation to intense rage. There is nothing more destructive than anger.
