One Letter Away from 'Danger'

VERSE: "An angry person stirs up conflict, and a hot-tempered person commits many sins." (Proverbs 25:22)

Getting angry is generally accepted as a natural, human tendency. But there are also many instances in our lives when our anger is unjustified. Anger, one of the seven deadly sins, continues to be a temptation for some of us. We would consider it unnatural and even impossible for a person to never have been angry in his life.

Even Jesus got mad. "When Jesus got a whip and overflow all the tables of the sellers of the temple without hurting them, then he states why he got angry... This is righteous anger", explains Fr. Wilfredo Samson, SJ. When our anger fuels our fight for injustice and against corruption, then it is the right kind of anger, but often, we let our emotions control us. It's either we hurt people physically, through painful words, or even with stony silence. We need to remember that even if we have a reason to get angry, it never gives us the right to hurt or insult others.

According to Fr. Samson, if we have uncontrollable anger, it might mean we have unsettled personal issues that we need to confront or discuss with our spiritual director or a psychologist. Often, we let anger rob us of our peace of mind, stop us from praying, and steal our joy. "When you feel angry simply because your happiness is impeded, that's sinful anger", stressed Fr. Jerome Secillano.

It is never easy to control anger. It is based in passion, a sort of emotion that affects our will. Some people need to tame it, simply dismissing that feeling and refuse to feed the emotion. Even in our anger, let us offer our hearts up to God, praying that we receive the grace to make the emotion our servant rather than being ruled by it. Reminder, "anger is only one letter short of Danger".

What am I mostly angry about? Is it an unrighteous or righteous anger?
