Angry is as angry does.

When I get frustrated it usually leads to anger. Additionally, when I become angry I frequently take out my anger on other things. It is such a strange emotion. not necessarily a sin or bad, but depending on what you do with it. The behavior or actions stemming from the anger determines your guilt. Usually it is bad, I believe. Angry that I was denied credit at a store because the cashier entered my information wrong, angry that I drank too much one night, angry that my boss doesn't agree with me, the list goes on and on.

I really dislike situations of other people that make me angry and which I can do nothing about or situations that make me angry that I do nothing about.

I believe a key to dealing with angry is just that; deal with it. If you try to block or hide from it, it will find you and then it will hit you like a truck. If you start running with the anger it can also take you to an explosive ending in which you will probably regret. Anger equals stop and think. or stop don't think, pray if your a Christian or believe in God, then think later and act accordingly to the most rational thought processes you can manage. Oh yes, this is all common sense. But for me it would be great if I wrote that down on a card and hung it around my neck. Then when those situations arise, I might actually follow it. Probably not. It is hard, but not impossible. With God nothing is impossible. Oh you can just hear your pastor/preacher/bishop now!
