Anger issues are very often ignored. "Don't own a gun" is excellent advice. Often those who are unable to control anger have guns to reinforce their ideas of justice. Those who trigger their rage, beware.
It is possible to learn how to control anger & get treatment --not easy but worth it. A lot of people never do and live their whole lives not knowing how to make peace within themselves. But I have seen some who get there. Usually they develop positive outlets for their volcanic energy and learn how to express anger instead of bottling up. They recognize the need for a conscious change. Support groups are a big help. If anyone reading this knows they have such a problem, do something about it now. Don't wait. You are not alone. You may have good reasons to feel angry--we all do. (It's not limited to men either). You can get a handle on your emotions and learn more positive ways of coping. Just do it. You know who you are.
Christmas--doing some Xmas shopping and trying to function in the horrendous amounts of traffic the holiday generates, I see plenty of people whose anger is not under control. A woman screamed and shook her fist at me when I didn't move up quite close enough to other cars at a stoplight. I saw people rudely knocking against a fragile old man trying to navigate a busy food section of a mall. A server in a busy coffee shop was taking out her anger on customers in a nasty, sarcastic, passive-aggressive way. You see it everywhere in this period just before Christmas. Supposedly the time of love and good cheer--but a lot of people reserve that only for their own families and are rude and hostile to others. There are people who really thrive on taking their issues out on others. They are some of the most unhappy souls in the world.
