Why do we get angry?


There are different things that tick people off. Reasons such as a bad weather, traffic, garbage are just a few of the things that people get mad about. But what is really the reason why we become angry?

Anger is a response to the feeling of being unhappy which arise every time we meet unpleasant situations. Furthermore, whenever we are in a situation that we are desperately trying to avoid, our uncontrolled mind reacts immediately with the feeling of being unhappy and angry.

Another main reason is the fact that we are in a situation that we generally dislike. Every single day, there are a lot of situations that we dislike. It may be a minor disagreement, stepping on dog manure and other things that we hate. Anger is a normal reaction that we human beings are capable of. It is up to us to gain control over this emotions and generate it into positive things.

    I am mad and frustrated right now because I was having back spasms and back pain at work today. I feel like after every traumatic event that I had to endure in my life, why do I yet have to deal with back spasms and pain. Can I get a break from this life, just a little? I am so mad that my back gives me problems still, when I am exercising. I am trying and nothing seems to give. I went to this water aeorobic class yesterday. I was going to go for a power walk today but now I can’t because my screwed up back. I am so mad. I am so sad. I hate myself and I hate this stupid LIFE! At work they have me cleaning all day. I told them that I want to work 8 to 5am instead of 6 to 3am but since I am a hard worker they like me 6 to 3am. But this 6 to 3am shift is just cleaning all day. I just want to bag and help custumers out to their car. I feel so isolated when I do not get to interact with custumers. I am sick of cleaning. I am ready for a mental breakdown. My back was spasming at work so I went to the pharmacy to get ibupfrofen and I almost started crying because I was so upset. I really had it. I am tired of struggling all the time. Am I in this life to struggle? Haven’t I struggled enough?
