Always admired star treks Mr Spock though and he never got angry.

Just what I was thinking, people are violent for the slightest reason - when they could be happy for the slightest reason instead.
I just don't understand, never will ..............

But anger is not the same as violence. Sometimes perhaps feeling some anger allows us to express (even only inwardly) who we are?

I could be waffling here…but I know what I mean!

Yep you're right, just realised that - gawn off the idea now - too complicated

Exactly! I am often angered by things, but incredibly rarely violent.

Well that was what I meant some people (the majority) manage their anger well it's ones who tip over into violence who would benefit from having their anger managed.

We need to feel anger at injustice and cruelty or it would not be stopped surely!

Tis true - extreme anger though should be curbed, we don't seem to be able to 'cure' with counselling etc - so I wondered if in the future it would be done medically - I don't mean pills either, we have made such strides in how the mind works and mine was working overtime today !

When I got really angry with my first wasband,which takes a lot to get me really cross, I used to tear up cardboard boxes. It was very good and stopped me tearing him up!
