The Power of being Angry
Sometimes there is a thought that the angrier a person is, the more impressive/stronger he is in his actions. If a God is an angry one, He would be more feared and respected. If a religion has angry administrators it would have more believers and faithful followers. If in a movie the lead actor is angry, he would represent the best in the soceity.
The truth however is just the opposite. A person is angry only when he is incapable of getting something done. When he finds that his actions are not giving results, he gets frustrated and gets into anger. Therefore anger is more of a sign of weakness than strength. Given a choice nobody would want to stay in angry mood for any amount of time unless someone is trying to fake it.
Why would someone try to fake anger? It is generally considered that if a person is angry he must be right and innocent and speaking the truth. This is frequently taken as an excuse to create mobs and committ crimes which that would generally not be allowed. Most of the times when there is a mob there is looting and people enjoy breaking public property.
Who gets affected by anger, in short term yes the people around but in long term it is the angry person whose psyche is affected the most. He gets scars on his brain that are very difficult to heal.
A good decision is always taken with a stable and calm mind and is rarely regretted. A decision taken in hot blood is usually a wrong decision and most of the times irreversible. Therefore the power of being angry is just negative.

A friend of mine said there is nothing new about this post and even a kid would know it.
But thats not the case, in current soceity there are people who justify anger and violence. Look at all the fans of Rang De Basanti.
People committ crimes as mob under the pretext of being angry, look at riots on death of Rajkumar or Gujrat riots where rich people would go in cars to pantaloon showrooms to make the most out of the opportunity and would not be caught as government would give them the certificate of being angry.
In movies angry heroes are almost always applauded.
anger is also a negotiation tool. used to get your way around things you dont like.

But the major thing here is that it can be detrimental also. If used at the wrong timing at the wrong places, it can cause a lot of wrong signals to be sent across.
This is why the threat of anger should never be allowed to set an example of success. Example: Hanging of Afzal Guru, if the guy is innocent have another trial, but the threat of burning the nation down or every city facing terrorism (by chief ministers too) should never be yielded to. I challange them to burn everything if they can (as if they have not already been trying). One can not live a life given on discount by these threateners.
Yes, the power of anger is Negative. But only in an ideal world. And we all know this aint and ideal world.
So a bit of anger is required to stop people taking you for granted and walking all over you. Infact faking it is much better, since it would not damage one's brain.
Well about Mobs and stuff, do you really think the people who do it even know what or why they are doing it? In my opinions they're just a bunch of mindless people seeking some kind of attention. They are just some politician's / group leader's puppets and nothing more.
You are right mobs are people who dont have anything better to do and enjoy breaking others property and get paid in return by politicians.
You are right in a non ideal world things would go wrong even for the strong and when they would be weak they would get angry, do something to fix the thing and then be normal again. but they do get weak in between.
How can the power of being angry be negative??
What _is_ negative??
Think about it. Better, get angry about this and you'll know.
negative power puts the force in the denominator and thus reduces it further from 1. Yes I am being very angry about this over you cuz you dont agree to whatever i wrote :)
