Is it ever right to be angry? How about when that four wheeler who cuts in and out of traffic without leaving you enough space, when someone in the express line ahead of you with a basket filled far above the “express limit” or whenever you see someone not playing by the rules? Are these times when it’s ok to get angry? There is such a thing as righteous anger. However, most of the time my anger does not fit that category. Righteous anger usually occurs when there is an injustice committed against someone who is not connected to me. So, if I become angry because someone offended me personally, that’s probably not righteous anger. In fact, people who get angry easily usually don’t have righteous anger. Even with righteous anger, we still must be careful with our conduct. Want to talk about it? Comment here.
