Main question:
Why do we get angry?
Sub-questions:
Why is anger such a potent emotion?
Why is anger a part of our emotional psyche?
Why does anger seem to be the one emotion that is abused or overused, when it is the most destructive?
Is anger subconscious? Can I bring it to my conscious thought process?
Seneca
Epictetus
Marcus Aurelius – Meditations of Marcus Aurelius
Anger is much too prevalent in my life. Many of the people closest to me get angry at completely unnecessary things, and I never understand the purpose of such a terrible emotion in these harmless situations. Sometimes, it seems like people prefer to be angry than be happy. Therefore, I have resolved, long before this paper was assigned to me, to try to be as conscious as possible about my anger, and figure out ways to quell my anger or convert it to a more positive, constructive emotion. I constantly spend my time wondering about anger, and the purpose of such destructive emotions.
