Many popular “Positive Thinking” programmes assume that success comes from “controlling our emotion” and that this can be done by simply repeating positive statements.Interestingly,these positive slogans often include a lot of negativity.“Only losers complain!I am a winner!” is one popular saying.The belief that those who disagree with us are losers is actually quite negative and is often used as an excuse for rude language and personal attacks.r daily lives,the ability to reasonably express anger or disagreement is an important skill.But we must use balanced and nonviolent methods to express our dissatisfaction.Frustration at unfair policies or treatment can certainly cause anger,but our anger can never be an excuse for abusing family members,damaging schools,attacking doctors or most seriously,engaging in terrorism.
Instead of pretending that anger doesn't exist,we should start teaching appropriate means of dealing with anger.When we experience anger feelings in ourselves or others,what we should “let go of” is the silly idea that we can remove anger with just a few sweet words.Instead,we should find reasonable solutions to the causes of those angry feelings.We need to accept anger as a natural emotion but stop using it as an excuse for violent and destructive behavior.Anger isn't wrong,but failure to deal with it appropriately is.
