The Four Faces of Anger
Men should not allow the day to pass without ridding ourselves of anger. I believe that going to sleep while angry could cause a delusional mind. Our Nemesis will use anger to get a foothold on us through unchecked emotion. Anger digs deep into the soul of man. It can draw out buried emotion from years past in an instant. It is very important that we distinguish the different types of anger and extinguish the harmful emotions
The four faces of anger - Rage, Fury, Indignation, and Wrath.
1. Rage is an anger that causes us to flurry about with over expressed gestures, clinched jaws, or boisterous words, even calling down curses. This kind of anger typically comes from frustrated expectations. This kind of anger causes people around you to stare at you out of disbelief, confusion, or embarrassment.
2. Fury is a much stronger emotion of rage. It is a destructive form of rage often leading to a depraved mind and delusional violence. Fury is motivated by evil. This often results in physical harm to others, even murder.
3. Indignation is a righteous anger caused by witnessing or experiencing injustice, shame, or evil done to innocence. It is the correct use of the power emotion of anger. Indignation motivates men to protect and risk our lives for the cause of others.
4. Wrath is the most Godly form of anger. It is an anger that responds to evil with pure judgment. Wrath is what causes man to correct a wrong and to rid the earth of evil.
Some men have been taught to sequester their anger, to be Stoic in emotions; yet, anger has a role to play in our lives if our motivations are pure, and our response is disciplined.
