This is a cure for anger...go and buy or make 5 small gifts, wrap them and hide them is a place were only you will know where they are.  When you angry with a person, give them one of these gifts...try it...see what happens.

DISEASE INFORMATION:


Anger is an emotional response to a grievance; real or imagined; past, present or future, based on the perception of the angry person. Rage is extreme anger whether overtly expressed or repressed.

Anger is often based on the perception of threat, and it is a frequent emotional component in the fight or flight response, which is part of the broader stress response.

Anger may be seem "provoked" (or triggered) by perceived threats, like conflict, or by abstract concepts such as injustice, humiliation and betrayal among others.

Anger is an active and passive emotion. When "active" an angry person can "lash out" verbally or physically at an intended target whether justified or not. When "passive" anger is often demonstrated in silence, sulking, passive-aggressive behavior (hostility) and tension.

Physiologically, human beings (and animals) exhibit physiological effects of increased epinephrine and cortisol, thereby producing heightened stress levels.

Hormonal changes can also increase the potential for one to become angry. Common contributors to irritability include fatigue, hunger, pain, sexual frustration, recovery from an illness, or the use of certain drugs; hormonal changes associated with PMS, birth, and menopause, physical withdrawal, bipolar disorder. Research suggests some individuals may be genetically predisposed to higher levels of anger. However, generational behaviors relative to primary care givers' responses to anger actually have a much larger influence in "predispostion" to anger.

A practical explanation of the components of anger:

The behavior that manifests and the physiological state (or sequence of physiological events that occur) when (1) An individual attributes to another person/organization/object a source of pain/deprivation (present or anticipated), and (2) Chooses behaviors (physical or cognitive) to stop or oppose it.

The key here is the choice to oppose the source of the pain. Without opposition, we would be left with fear behaviors (running away in the face of pain, for example). The pain/deprivation does not have to be a physical pain/threat, it can be emotional pain or abstract (i.e. being lied to)

The source of pain can be directed at objects (i.e., the Universe,). Because there is pain, however, does not mean anger is necessarily present (for example, bumping a nose into a glass pane, and feeling embarrassed).

The 'opposition' to pain does not have to be physically visible. The person can simply think "I want this to stop," or "I am against this." An example of an observable behavioral measure could be attempts to verbally communicate one's pain (often in a loud voice).

Humans often exhibit anger behaviors empathically. For example, reading an article about a minority experiencing racism. We are not the victim, per se.

Anger is usually magnified and extended in time when a cognitive decision is made about the intent of the individual (or organization or object) attributed to causing the pain. In other words, if we decide the pain/deprivation was intentional, "deliberate," the emotion is usually more intense.

When anger is used to "suppress opposition" though emotional bullying or violence, the "bullier" and "bullied" often fail to realize that the root of ALL anger is fear. The "angrier" and more "enraged" an individual appears, is in direct proportion to the fear the individual is experiencing. Thus, the angrier the individual, the more fearful.

Anger and predisposition to violence

At the end of the 19th century, Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, argued that individuals are born with an innate aggressive instinct, and when this is blocked, they have a natural urge to become hostile or angry. A century later, this view was deprecated by the American Psychological Association and the American Anthropological Association, who in 1988 reviewed the available research and concluded that people are not genetically predisposed to violence, and that violence cannot be scientifically related to natural evolutionary processes. At the beginning of the 21st century, the consensus is reversing again, as recent research, conducted with the benefit of the fully-mapped human genome, has begun to pinpoint specific genes that increase the risk of socially harmful behavior such as aggressiveness, anti-social behavior, suicide, etc. (See this topic's discussion page for citations.)
