Anger and frustration

Anger is not about the mind but our feelings controlling our thoughts. People vent their anger because they cannot control their thoughts, fear engulfed their brains and their thoughts become negative. To the angry person, all things negative are "good". Whilst anger is completely normal, it can get out of control and turn destructive. This is when rage and fury takes over.
It is instinctive of humans to express anger with aggressiveness. Being aggressive is downright unhealthy when we become physically abusive. It can happen anywhere, at home, in the office or even in parliament. It would be good that Malaysians are given simple basic training on how to control anger. We can begin with the schools, as a head start.
All it needs are 3 basic approaches and that is, expressing, suppressing and calming. Yes, anger can be suppressed, redirected and converted into constructive behaviour. People who easily become angry have a low tolerance of frustration. Family values and respect at an early age can go a long way to help Malaysians become a more pleasant people with high values for one another.
