What I thought about anger




Something I tried to control lately (coz I don't know who I should be angry with), Something I learned after having drinking chat yesterday with my best japanese friend, something that I'm not really good in - anger management.





Extreme anger will trigger a higher blood pressure surge. Expressing in the right way, however, can be cathartic.

Expressing anger under a right condition, or the word "venting" preferably used, is good to avoid getting into psychological trouble, depression, specifically. Most of the people who are having depression are from a disciplined family or a robotic company. They are often educated or controlled to keep feelings inside instead of expressing them, especially anger. As a result, they will find difficulties in expressing themselves. Their lack of confidence could be obvious when they get nervous and pressured.

In Asia countries, children are educated that venting can't solve problems. When the children reach maturity, they are more likely to feel lack of confidence. They are not confident when speaking if their expressions are over controlled. Some of the children might experience slow maturation compare to others who brought up in an openly expressive family.
Cultural factors can be a main factor in structuring a society's behavior of managing anger. Japanese women who were often not allowed to vent years ago, have a higher possibility of committing suicide. One of the consequences of this culture also compels active prostitution in Japan in the recent decades due to increasing cases of missing teenaged daughters. This phenomenon is no longer a myth since more young girls choose not to stay at home because of parental control on their behavior.

I agree that humans are more healthy venting reasonably than keeping it inside. Therefore, it is important to express yourself optimistically. It is also necessary to find the right solution for the problems after venting. Venting without solution is a misusage of emotion, and it is opposed to your reason for venting.


Haha, end up a bit crappy. After reading Martha's blog, usually, ended up writing nonsense here.
I know martha will give me COLD comment again! That kind of big slap IN-YOUR-FACE comment!!
