ANGER IS A GIFT~
This suggests that anger can be a valuable and powerful emotion, rather than a negative or destructive one. This perspective views anger as a natural response to injustice, inequality, or personal harm, and acknowledges its potential to:
- Motivate action and change
- Empower individuals to stand up for themselves and others
- Provide a sense of strength and resilience
However, it's important to recognize that anger can also be harmful if not managed constructively. Unchecked anger can lead to destructive behavior, hurt relationships, and internal turmoil.
So, "Anger is a gift" encourages us to acknowledge, understand, and harness our anger in a way that promotes positive transformation and growth, rather than letting it control or consume us. So many many of you that has known me since childhood must have noticed how unreserved, violent and ruthless I always am whenever I am angry. I have put myself in so many regrettable moments in the past because of my Tiki Taka way of being angry. Nevertheless, I have understood that harnessing anger for positive change requires self-awareness, mindfulness, and intentional actions and It has been of great help to me recently.
