Why is anger a source of pride with so many people? You can even buy t shirts on the internet stating what an angry you are. What is up with that? Why would anyone want to live that way? Just a little advice if that's you: Anger is just a slow form of suicide. Most stress is based on anger and fear. There's a lot of good reasons that scripture tells us to be peace makers and to fear not.
And stress kills.
Peace, brothers and sisters.

I work with a few guys that are mad all the time. I cant even talk to them. They never smile or joke around.

Life must me (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) to act that way all day everyday.

Yep. And even if a person is going through hades, it is still possible to find something good. Life is mostly about perspective and we choose that, it doesn't just happen.

Its a manifestation of insecurity.

I think so. It's a self-defense mechanism some use to avoid making themselves vulnerable.

It only makes sense to think positive & enjoy life.

Negativity breeds bad things

Power and control move for some the fact that folks don’t want to talk to these guys proves that point they have the power. What’s the first thing when some person goes off that the rest of the room will do?

They shut up and give the guy room and only the angry guy controls the room then unless somebody intervenes. Many ignore (pretend to) some leave the area some are too scared to move from fear some think about calling 911. Others get ready to step up if needed each personality gets to it basic mode of dealing with a threat.

Yes. Most anger is just fear trying to look strong.

PA. Im with ya, I’m just happy I woke up, I get out of bed singing. I agree life is what you make it.

I always like this meme its all about what you make it in life. I admit I see people with depression and I just don't understand how they let that impacts their daily lives, but it does and I just can't get a grip on why they would do that. I've seen people that I thought they had more than others that felt like they had nothing, but they thought differently then I did.

All those freaks at the pride parades walk around smiling, waving flags, handing out stickers, and seem happy. I’d stay the heck away from them.

Same here

I was mad today.

30 out of 40 traps I had set at the park on Tuesday were sprung. At least they only sprung them. But I did catch 5 rats. I was still mad when I re set not sure If It's going to happen again. Oh well I can be mad again tomorrow. LOL

I have a business partner who is an angry person. It all started during a period of time he just couldnt get his life together. He started MMA training, claiming he was doing it to increase mental strength. He has mistaken mental strength for verbal abuse. He cant control is mouth and knows it. Ruined our forty year friendship.

As a game warden acquaintance of mine once told me - “I have been discussed out of a lot of tickets, I have never been cussed out of a ticket”

Under today's circumstances if you are not angry then you are uninformed.

Also physical illnesses.

Can you be angry and happy at the same time?

Bought an over the counter Turkey tag in WY a few years ago the clerk just moved back from Cali. He said people there are crazy all the do is yell at each other if you don’t agree withe them 100%.

Once one realizes how little any one of us or even we as a species really matter in the big picture of things. Its hard to be serious let along angry about things. Our planet is just a grain of sand on the big beach that is this universe. Most all of us thing that we matter a lot more than we actually do. For myself, I don't like myself when I am angry. So I try to keep it to a minimum.

It's okay to get angry at times, and it doesn't mean your insecure, or that you even fear what makes you angry...

The last presidential election was stolen and I'm darn sure angry about it...Doesn't mean I'm insecure or fear who stole it...Quite to the contrary. I have no fear of them, and we'll work out who is truly insecure in the future.
