147. Why Do We Get Angry?

Angry is a fascinating emotion. We’ve likely all felt it, but why?

From a thought perspective, I find that we are often times getting angry because something doesn’t align to our expectations of it. Perhaps something physical happened which isn’t in alignment with our mental thoughts or our emotional feelings. Or vice versa.

In general, anger is “misalignment”.

You’re going one way, and the universe is going another way. Or perhaps, they crash together. Maybe they are so consistently moving apart, which is why we remain angry over time. Depending on how long you’re angry for, this can explain the path or velocity of your timelines.

However, I find that people aren’t angry for long periods of time. This often times is just sadness or depression. Anger is quick. It’s tough, it’s fast. It’s sort of a filling up with emotions which is bubbling up to the surface. Perhaps that’s why people say you “fill up” with rage.

I find that frustration and agitation are quite similar to anger, in that it’s again, a misalignment. Perhaps anger is simply a heightened level of these emotions. When you become too frustrated and agitated, you become angry.

I find that almost always, your perception value is not what the universe is giving or providing you. Or, how the universe simply exists. There are two forces at play here. 

Next time you get angry, consider. Why do you have a different perception value than the universe? And who needs to change? Do you need to shift your perception value? Perhaps temporarily in order to transmute your emotions. But what can you do so that your reality matches up with your perception value moving forward? How can you bridge this gap or dissonance?

It’s always quite comfortable and peaceful when we exist in the reality of our own making (so long as it’s our will and our terms). Sometimes we can get too comfortable with our current situation, and that’s complacency. But we certainly don’t want mass chaos where the universe is simply throwing us around. But as time moves on, we need to adapt and change. By putting yourself out of your comfort zone more often, or putting a wider range of your reality expectations can help you become less angry overall. “Bringing” things together more, can also help. When you reject or repress different things in your life, whether that be physical or mental/emotional, you sort of allow them to take on a direction or “mind” of their own. You’ll want to ensure that you are accepting everything as it is, even if you don’t want it. You still need to accept and acknowledge before you transmute. This is why it’s likely that those who are in a constant state of fear, are typically very angry. They have no control over the areas and aspects of their life that they are rejecting or repressing, and its’s causing a lot of frustration and agitation. Consider how satisfying it is to bring two things together. It’s making fractaled things whole again. How can you start to do this in other areas and aspects of your life? Remember that this is a high level concept and theme. Perhaps you’re living a “double life”. Or perhaps there are things which you’re neglecting. Have any loose ends you need tying up? You may find that when you start tp accept things back into your life, you become even angrier. This means that something needs to change. Whether it be you, or it/them. I find this occurs often in relationships, when we press expectations onto others, without letting them just “be”. And sometimes of course, we need to cut people out of our lives, because both energies are no longer serving each other.

At the end of the day, consider anger to be a “mismatch” of reality and expectation. Someone needs to budge, and unfortunately, all that you really have control of and can change, is yourself.
