Hate Me Not
Anger is having a feeling of hatred toward someone or something. It is one of
our basic emotions and can be most dangerous if it is not carefully controlled.
A person can become angry when he cannot fulfill some basic needs or desire
that is important to him. For example, a child may become angry when he
cannot play outside with his friends. An adult may become angry when he
does not receive a raise in pay that he expected. Mentally, anger can interfere
with our thoughts, making it difficult to think clearly. Physically, it may cause
violent reactions in our muscles and in the nervous system. This causes an
angry person to flush and tremble and to show other signs of disturbance. A
person can be dangerous if he is in an angry mood because he can develop
feelings of hostility and hatred toward another person, which can then often
turn violent.
