Any No Good Energy Rising, or ANGER for short

'To every man is given, a blessing and a curse, and to every man the power to control’.

We’ve all gotten angry before, some more than others and every time, we are left with a brutal aftermath. I reflect on myself while I write this and so I can not tell you if it is a driving force or not, the decision is left to you after you read this.
I get angry sometimes, a lot of times recently because the people around me do not understand that I am going through a rough patch and I want to be left alone and lack of communication has left me saying hurtful thing to some of them. Its hard to explain to them that you didn’t mean what you said because the general conception is people tend to be more truthful when they’re angry and as such, we say the things we really mean in the heat of the moment.

For others, it goes beyond the verbal to the physical confrontation and they could really hurt someone. I’m not like that, I’m no pacifist but violence has never been my thing. They don’t know how to put a lid on things and explode, affecting the people around them. I wonder if they ever get remorseful for their action. If anger is a driving force depends on individuality.

Other times I’ve gotten angry because I lost a job to a less qualified person because someone up there was playing favorite and it just pushed me to want to do more so I’m never put in a position where I would have to wait to be picked, it wasn’t the anger, it was more of not wanting to be in that position again. A lot of Nigerians would say anger pushed them to get their voter’s card in a strong attempt to chase out the ruling government of the country. I’d like to think anger is like fuel, very powerful but its power is based on what you use it for.

Put fuel in water without any fire and its basically useless but put it in car and it would drive as far as it can carry it. To everything an advantage and a disadvantage. There has to be things anger does to our physical body because I know the mind has power, that rush of adrenaline through your body.

Anger has made a lot of people do a lot of things, anger has killed, anger has poisoned, it has revealed secrets, broken up friendships, caused lost opportunities, reduced self esteem, invoked hatred. So you tell me, tell me if it is a driving force. We are all angry people, can not stop a natural trait for all men and women, but we can control it. Most people claim to ‘channel their anger towards doing something positive, I say there are a ton of ways to get things done, anger isn’t one them. The important thing to note is this is my opinion and I could be wrong.
