In my years on Earth, I learned anger is a game that people play. Most of us get caught up in the anger game and lose it because we do not realize what is happening.

This occurs because, most of us believe the lie that anger is a necessary and constructive emotion. This lie traps you because it tricks into playing the anger game.

Many of us get caught in the anger game because we do not understand anger. We misunderstand anger because society teaches us to embrace anger and play the anger game.

The Lies of Anger

The anger game traps us because we believe a few lies about anger. Those lies are:

1. Anger is a constructive response to life’s problems.

2. Anger is always justified because it is a response to evil.

3. You can help an angry person by understanding the cause of the anger and sympathizing with their plight.

4. The proper response to anger is to listen to the angry person and try to understand their problems.
