ANGRY FELLOW:


"Anyone can become angry-- that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way -- this is not easy" said by Aristotle. Good story about this: At a local school, a nine-year-old goes on a rampage pouring paint over school desks, computers, and printers, and vandalizing a car in the school parking lot. The reason: some third-grade classmates called him a "baby" and he wanted to impress them. . . Aren't we much like this? We get angry over the wrong thing at the wrong time. Learn the habit of controlling your anger today, before its too late. The earlier, the better.

Uh, well all I can say is that the person in this story took the phrase "paint the town red," a little too literally.

Jokes aside, there's such a thing as being angry for a righteous reason. Although that's also half the problem for many bad examples seen in the world today. What a person defines as "right," can be defined good by some and wrong by others. Yet it doesn't matter how many people are on each side to the person getting angry or commiting the crime out of anger. That's why we have so many crimes or outbursts regardless of how the offending party is aware the people around him/her will think of the reasonings to either defend or convict.

So to further elaborate on Aristotle, I could say that a person is angry with every one of the critera mentioned in his mind. Yet he does so without understanding how his actions will affect those around his immediate surroundings. You could be a cop getting angry and chasing after a criminal, fire a few shots to immobolize the criminal, and then have a pedestrian fall due to a stray bullet. The cop had the right motivation, target, reasoning, and judgement. Yet there was still a consequence.

So sometimes getting angry is a good thing with a bad consequence. Which is why it's always important to think of the possible consequences of doing an action to a specific other out of anger. It may have all the right implications for a one vs one scenario. Yet how that action impacts others around you can make all the difference. Whether it was an illegal action or not.
