might have collided with you in the traffic for no mistake
of yours. Your colleague might get all the credit you deserve.
The customer service representative did not answer your call
properly. All these are the grievances which are brazen out
in our daily life since we interact with people from different
walks of life. These instances make things increasingly difficult,
and can be very annoying, livid and also lead to frustration,
resulting in intense wrath or anger. It is basically a reflex
to an inner emotion rather than a planned act and is arguably
one of the most difficult emotions to control, and is probably
the most misunderstood and for that matter, overused emotion.
According to Robert W Westermeyer, "Anger is an emotion,
which, like anxiety spoils any system".
We
do use quite a few abysmal words when we feel violated in
some way or the other. Just remember and think for a second,
when and why were you angry last time? Maybe because you were
ignored, or maybe because you were traduced, or perhaps illtreated.
There are enough reasons to make people angry. The emotion
of anger is such that it is very slow and will slowly but
surely erupt. We possess emotions like violence, hatred, rage,
etc., which are difficult to control. However, it could be
better if such behavior is allowed to be on hold. We may feel
relieved for that moment when we release it, but the aftermath
would be pretty bitter.
Anger
at workplace is increasing in recent times. We have to admit
that we work under a high stress in a quickly changing world
and with constant demands at workplaces. We can also empathize
that we have to experience times of despair, and this sums
up the things that stress and strain can push a normal person
to the rampage. Sometimes we get angry when our colleague
takes away the credit which we deserve and we would be absolutely
furious. Also at times, there might be differences of opinion
with others which can also result in gnashing our teeth.
