NOBODY GETS ANGRY LIKE THAT!
There is no anger in the world, there are only people who think angry thoughts, and acting out on those thoughts.
Anger is not something that just happens because someone stepped on your toes, no! It is something you choose to express.
Nobody has anger genes inside of him; every angry person developed a force within him that produces anger.
Anger is a seed of destruction. Living with anger is simply carrying about a seed that would grow up to destroy you.
Jesus made it easier for us to live an anger-free life when He said "do not pay evil for evil. And if someone slaps you on one cheek, be calm enough to turn the other cheek to the person". Come to think of it; a person who will not react at the first slap and still propose a second slap can never get angry.
I've read of two occasions where Jesus got angry in scriptures; the first was when he saw that the temple had been turned to a market place, and the second was when the fig tree didn't produce fruit in its due season. This means that Jesus got angry at things that were working against the kingdom of God.
I wouldn't even call that anger, because He was working according to His purpose. His anger didn't create problems, it solved problems. For instance, I get angry when people are cheated by their thoughts. And that's because my purpose is to bring knowledge to them, so that they can think the right thoughts.
Let me conclude with this; it's not those acts that make you angry, it's the way you process them. I get angry at will, not by the acts. Embrace self-control, it will add great value to your life. May God give us understanding!
God bless you, I love you, and don't forget to share!
