Beschreibung – Ärger, Zorn, Wut

Wenn das Begehren nicht erfüllt wird, entsteht Frustration, und daraus Zorn. Zorn kann ein sehr mächtiger Antrieb sein und unter Umständen dabei helfen, einen Menschen auf die nächsthöheren BW-Ebenen zu katapultieren, sofern er kon-
struktiv genutzt wird. Oft äußert sich Wut und Zorn allerdings lediglich in zerstörerischem Verhalten und in der Einstellung Was ich nicht haben kann, sollen andere auch nicht haben. Zorn als dauerhaftes Lebensgefühl macht Menschen reizbar, nörglerisch, cholerisch und verbittert. Wer zornig ist, ist oft nicht in der Lage, seine Bedürfnisse auf konstruktive Weise zu formulieren. Der Schritt aus Scham, Schuldgefühl oder Apathie in den Wutbereich ist ein enormer Fortschritt und fühlt sich für die Betroffenen sehr gut und machtvoll an, so wie sich grundsätzlich jede BW-Ebene im Vergleich zu den darunter liegenden Ebenen gut anfühlt.

 

Viele Menschen schaffen den Sprung von Angst zu Zorn, wenn ihnen das Wenige genommen wird, das sie noch hatten. Angst haben kann nur, wer etwas zu verlieren hat, und sei dieses Etwas noch so gering; geht es verloren, so gibt es ei-
nerseits Menschen, die weiter absinken in Apathie und Hoffnungslosigkeit und andererseits können Menschen, die nichts mehr zu verlieren haben, ihre Angst überwinden und im Zorn beachtliche Energien mobilisieren. Revolutionen begannen des Öfteren durch Frauen, die daheim nicht einmal mehr das Nötigste hatten, um ihre Kinder zu ernähren, und die dann vor die Paläste der Reichen zogen, die in großem Luxus lebten, um Brot zu fordern.

Wutologie

Wie gehe ich bestenfalls mit meiner Wut um?

 

Wut

  • ist eines der Grundgefühle, eine körperliche Verfassung, eine unwillkommene Reaktion.
  • ist wohl das potentiell gefährlichste menschliche Gefühl.
  • führt zu verbalen oder körperlichen Angriffen.
  • ist der hauptsächliche Motivator bei Morden.
  • ist trägt während einer Konfliktsituation nicht zur Lösung bei.
  • könnte blind zerstören.
  • zeigt an, dass der Wütende aus dem Gleichgewicht geraten ist.
  • lässt leicht die Beherrschung (Selbstkontrolle) verlieren.
  • ist ein Risiko für den Wütenden selbst, dessen Angehörigen, Naheststehenden oder Anwesenden.

 

Körperliche Reaktionen auf Wut
Wut

  • findet im Reptiliengehirn statt.
  • aktiviert das Nervensystem.
  • treibt den Puls (die Herzfrequenz) hoch.
  • verstärkt die Durchblutung, besonders die Blutversorgung der Muskeln.
  • erhöht den Blutzuckerspiegel.
  • erhöht die Ausschüttung des Stresshormons Adrenalin.
  • schärft die Sinne.
  • löst Schwitzen.
  • frisst Energie.
  • mindert die Intelligenz.
  • schädigt das Immunsystem.
  • macht krank.

 

Wutpsychologie
Ein Wütender

  • neigt dazu, das, was seinen Egowünschen nicht entgegenkommt, als seinen Gegner, der ihm zuwider ist, zu be-
    trachten.
  • benutzt seinen Ärger als Mutersatz. Mut erfordert, entschlossen und durchgängig seine Verpflichtungen zu erfüllen.
  • plustert sich auf wie ein primitives Tier.
  • versucht unbewusst, stark und großartig zu erscheinen.

 

Selbstbeherrschung und Intelligenz bescheren Erfolg im Leben. Gewalttätiges, wutgesteuertes Verhalten zeugt von einer schlechten Selbstbeherrschung. Selbstkontrolle kann man trainieren. (Auf das zweite Marshmallow warten, Routinehand-
lungen mit der nicht-dominanten Hand verrichten, in ganzen Sätzen sprechen, beim Abendessen keine Streitgespräche führen.)
Wissenschaftlich getestete wütend-hungrige Studenten und Ehepartner reagierten ausgeglichener, wenn ihr Gehirn gut genährt und getränkt war.

 

Wutauslöser
Wut beinhaltet

  • erleiden einen Schlag auf unser Selbstvertrauen oder unseren Platz in einer sozialen Versammlung, werden behin-
    dert, während sie nach einem Ziel suchen, das verpasst wird, wenn es um Bargeld geht, jemand, der mit einer Regel
    kollidiert, die wir für ungerechtfertigt halten, und fühlen sich schwach, diese Neigung zu ändern, die von einer ande-
    ren Person oder in uns selbst desillusioniert wird, wenn unser Eigentum missbraucht wird, so weiter und so fort.

 

Wutbändiger

  • Atmen
  • Weggehen
  • Wutmanagement
  • Meditation
  • Hypnose
  • NLP (Neurolinguistisches Programmieren)

 

Wutausbrüche kann man nicht unmittelbar durch Medikamente zum Stillstand bringen, man benötigt die Hilfe eines Psycho-
logen, der in Sachen Wutbewältigungsmanagement geschult ist. Wutmanagenment-Techniken helfen dem, der seine Wut
im Zaum halten möchte, seinen Zorn zu zügeln.

 

Wutmanagement-Techniken, um Wut auf natürliche Weise einzudämmen
Wenn du wütend bist oder wütend angegangen wirst,

  1. verlasse die wutauslösende Situation. Entferne dich von dem Ort oder dem Menschen, der dich aus der Fassung bringt.
  2. atme tief durch, um dein Nervensystem zu entspannen.
  3. wechsle die Position. Wenn du gerade stehst, setze dich bequem hin. Wenn du gerade sitzt, lege dich einige Minuten lang hin.
  4. zähle langsam von eins auf 21 oder in umgekehrter Reihenfolge, ehe du antwortest oder etwas unternimmst.
  5. Stelle dich im entspannten Zustand vor einen Spiegel und vergegenwärtige dir eine Situation, die dich in Wut versetzt hat. Mime deinen damaligen Gesichtsausdruck und deine Körpersprache. Wenn du deine nachgestellten Fratzen und Gesten lustig findest, wirst du über dich schmunzeln. Lachen entspannt dich und das Gehirn.

Gefahr erkannt – benannt – gebannt

Hexenhaus, das Hänsel und Gretel anlockte

Die Müllerstochter/Königin, deren Kind gefährdet war, erfährt von einem Boten, dass ein Männchen in einem kleinen Haus in der Ferne wohnt, das nachts um ein Feuer tanzt und singt:

Heute back ich, morgen brau ich,
übermorgen hol' ich der Königin ihr Kind;
ach, wie gut dass niemand weiß,
dass ich Rumpelstilzchen heiß!

Nun kennt sie das Rätsel, den geheimen Namen ihres Peinigers. Als sie den Poltergeist Rumpelstilzchen damit überrascht, dass er selbst sein Geheimnis ausgesprochen hatte, zerreißt er sich aus lauter Wut selbst. Sein Leben endet er mit den Worten:

Das hat dir der Teufel gesagt!

 

I am glad that nobody knew that the name I am called is Rumpelstiltskin!

Once Rumpelstiltskin's secret name is revealed his spell and control by fear is over.
Agasp Rumpelstiltskin tore himself apart – out of sheer anger.

Quotes by D. Hawkins

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

  • People love to hate. It's known as competition (as in sports or in war). Source unknown

 

  • Although Anger can lead to homicide and war, as an energy level it's much further removed from death than those below it. Anger can lead to either CONstructive or DEstructive action. As people move out of Apathy and Grief to overcome Fear as a way of life, they begin to want; Desire leads to frustration, which in turn leads to Anger. Thus
    Anger can be a fulcrum by which the oppressed are eventually catapulted to freedom. Fury over social injustice, victimization, and inequality has created great movements that led to major changes in the structure of society.
    But Anger expresses itself most often as resentment and revenge, and is, therefore, volatile and dangerous. Anger
    as a lifestyle is exemplified by irritable, explosive people who are oversensitive to slights and become "injustice collectors", quarrelsome, belligerent or litigious. Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, chapter 4 "Levels of Consciousness", S. 82, Hay House, February 2002

 

  • Rationality is further undermined by the biological fact that the old reptile and animal brain is still anatomically and functionally present, and its atavistic activity continues to exert a pervasive animal instinct that strengthens pre-
    datory tendencies and aggressions.
    All the instincts of the animal persist and influence or even dominate much
    of the behavioral and feeling states. The emotions of the animal are ever present and close to the surface.
    The Eye of the I From Which Nothing is Hidden, S. 51, 2001

 

  • [Paraphrased] Righteous anger and indignation are moralistic inflations of positionalities and expectations of others.
    I, Reality and Subjectivity, chapter 12, S. 197, 2003

 

  • From history as well as consciousness calibration, we see that passivity [LoC 145] encourages aggression and
    thus represents weakness and not moral superiority. Historically, passivity has resulted in the deaths of tens of
    millions of innocent citizens for which the pacifist bears moral and karmic responsibility. Thus, passivity is prima-
    rily due to ignorance, plus often a narcissistic self-aggrandizement and pseudo-spiritual pose that, unfortunately,
    frequently has fatal consequences. Truth vs. Falsehood. How to Tell the Difference, S. 323, 2005

 

 

 

  • The positionalized ego fears admitting a mistake and avoids responsibility to forestall the anger's turning inward. A major defense of the ego is to protect a punitive conscience (its 'superego') onto the outer world and then live in fear
    of it in the form of fears of vengeance. Thus, the angry ego fears truth, honesty, and balance, which reduce its domi-
    nance, and therefore considers forgiveness or seeing the innocence of others as anathema. The angry person's ego
    sees relationships as a battleground for dominance, control, and primitive attitudes and actions. Thr resistance to
    giving up pejorative attitudes is that, subjectively, the ego extracts pleasure from negativity, which propagates and
    motivates the personalities that calibrate below 200.
    Transcending The Levels of Consciousness. The Stairway to Enlightenment, chapter 7 "Anger", S. 138, 2006

 

  • The fallacy of milking the past is indicated by its low calibration level, which is due to the fact that in actuality the past
    no longer exists. One can actually only 'know' the present, and at best, that is only a fleeting perception because truth
    is a consequence of not only linear content but also of context.

  • Transcendence requires the willingness to surrender primary positionalities:
    1. Harboring chronic resentments and milking "injustices".
    2. Unrealistic expectations of the world and relationships, including expectations of conveniences, agreement, approval, compliance, and others.
    3. Surrendering self-centeredness as a lifestyle and focusing on changing oneself instead of the world. [...]
    4. Willingness to surrender the residual infantile expectations (of age two) of self, others, and the perceived imperfect world.
    5. Taking responsibility for bringing inner infantile attitudes to the surface and subordinating them to mature and essentially more gratifying processes, such as reason, balance and concern for others.
    6. Realize that resentment or anger is not about what others "are" but about what they "are not". [...]
    7. Accepting human fallibility and limitation that, in a portion of the population, is due to an inborn incapacity to
      be self-honest.

Anger ⇔ transcending anger

  • An individual acting out tries to hold on to the status quo. They feel a need to puff up, self-vindicate, dramatize, emotionalize, condemn, get even, punish, intimidate, blame, threaten, and gang up on others.
    A self controlled thoughtful individual tends to keep to oneself, to remain calm and to reason. They are willing to
    accept, let go and forgive. Inspired by Transcending The Levels of Consciousness. The Stairway to Enlightenment, chapter 7 "Anger", chart "The Dualities of Anger", S. 145, 2006

 

  • [...] to disassemble anger may require the willingness to surrender the pride that underlies that anger, which in turn depends on surrendering a desire. This means surrendering the fear that energized the desire, which in turn depends on surrendering a desire. This means surrendering the fear that energized the desire, which again is related to the undoing of imaginary loss, and so forth. Motivations are thus intertwined and mutually interactive, and operationally surrendering them leads to the next levels, which are comprised of dualities. The deeper layers, therefore, tend to surface one's beliefs about God, programmed spiritual expectations, and belief systems. Spiritual work is therefore
    a matter of exploration that transcends mentalized concepts, such as those of cause and effect.

Competitive religious wars based on a god image of retaliation

  • [In] Anger [LoC 150], we see those positions that promote anger, conflict, hatred, and religious wars because they are competitive and usually champion a politicized god of retaliation. Because it is a polarized position, it is always viewed that God will punish the non-believers, which is usually one of the traditional teachings. It is important to know where this calibrates on the scale so we can se how it correlates with those things that are truthful. Healing and Recovery, chapter 5 "Spiritual First Aid", S. 153-154, 2009

 

  • A person who is familiar with this will feel the compressed energy and begin to release it without waiting for the mind to create an excuse that justifies it's release. The more sophisticated mind does not need an outside event to release it's angriness. It just knows that it is building up some suppressed angriness and sits down and says, "I had better look at this." It then starts letting go of the energy of it before the mind gets around and creates something 'out there' to relieve itself. It is as though the events in our lives are almost like safety or release valves, providing a way to decompress this energy tank.

Antidotes to anger and expectations

  • The best defense against the development of anger is
    ➤ to see others as equals,
    ➤ lessen expectations, and,
    ➤ via humility, surrender the fulfillment of one's wants to God.
With progressive detachment and relinquishment of the ego's demands and expectations, anger diminishes. Along the Path to Enlightenment. 365 Reflections from David R. Hawkins, edited by Scott Jeffrey, Reflection of March 16th, January 2011

Processing anger:

  • The processing out of anger requires inner honesty and the willingness to surren-
    der what is lacking integrity and essentially unworkable, and replace it with self-
    confidence. Compensatory attitudes that are far more powerful than anger are dedication, reason, humility, gratitude, perseverance, and tolerance. Along the Path to Enlightenment. 365 Reflections from David R. Hawkins, edited by Scott Jeffrey, Reflection of March 24th, January 2011

 

  • Anger is binding, not freeing. It connects us to another person and holds them in our life pattern. We are stuck in
    the negative pattern until we let go of the energy of anger and its little payoffs of righteous indignation, feeling wron-
    ged, and the desire for revenge. It may not be the exact same person who constantly recurs in our life. If not that per-
    son, then others will appear who have the same quality that triggers our anger and resentment. This will keep recur-
    ring until we handle our inner angriness. Then, suddenly, people with that quality disappear from our life.
    Letting Go. The Pathway of Surrender, S. 136-137, October 2012

 

  • Let go resisting the anger coming up in you. If you do, you will see it and see what it’s about. You are angry for a rea-
    son. You will start to see it. Just let it come up and you will see what it’s about. The more you let go resisting it, the
    more it will come up. Then you will run it out eventually. It's not limitless. It has to be fed all the time and something is feeding it. Maybe you feel you are being blamed about something. There is probably some karmic propensity there. Maybe you are angry about being back here on Earth again and are angry at God. You are probably scared to be
    angry at God! We don’t want to see that consciously.

  • Honoriere deine Wut. Unterscheide dennoch den gerechten vom ungerechten Zorn, ehe du ihn zum Ausdruck bringst. Unmittelbar nach einem Sturm ist das Wasser schmutzig und die Rage ist undifferenziert. Es braucht Zeit, Wut zu dif-

  • Groll ist wie ein Gift, das wir in uns herumtreiben, in der Hoffnung, dass wir es bei passender Gelegenheit dort abladen können, wo es einem anderen, der uns verletzt hat, schadet. In Wirklichkeit tragen wir dieses Gift mit großem Eigenri-

  • Die Habgier entsteht aus falschen Vorstellungen von wahrer Zufriedenheit.
    Der Zorn entsteht aus falschen Vorstellungen, was den unbefriedigenden Stand der eigenen Angelegenheiten und Umgebung betrifft.
    Die Torheit entsteht aus falschen Vorstellungen von dem, was korrektes Benehmen ist,
    Missverständnisse entstehen aus falschen Vorstellungen, die falschen Lehren folgen.
    Diese drei Übel – Habgier, Hass und Verblendung – nennt man die drei Feuer der Welt.
    Die Habgier entsteht angesichts der Zufriedenheit.
    Zorn entsteht angesichts der Unzufriedenheit,
    und die Torheit entsteht aus unreinen Gedanken.
    Die Habgier ist zwar nicht zu böse, ist jedoch kaum zu beseitigen.
    Der Zorn ist böser, allerdings leichter zu beseitigen.
    Die Torheit ist am bösesten und sehr schwer zu überwinden.
    Das Feuer der Habgier verschlingt jene, die ihren wahren Geist durch die Habgier verloren haben.
    Das Feuer des Zorns verschlingt jene, die ihren wahren Geist durch den Zorn verloren haben.
    Das Feuer der Torheit verschlingt jene, die ihren wahren Geist durch das Versagen, die Lehren Buddhas zu hören
    und zu beachten, verloren haben. […]
    Diese Feuer der irdischen Leidenschaften verbrennen nicht nur das Ich, sondern bewirken auch, dass andere

  • Es stimmt zwar, dass Wut zusätzliche Energie freisetzt, doch verdrängt sie den besten Teil des menschlichen Ge-

  • Das Gewahrwerden – die bewusste Wahrnehmung – ist ein wenig wie Magie; es ist die Alchemie, die die niederen Metalle in Gold verwandelt.
    Wenn du wütend bist, so verdränge deinen Zorn nicht; versuche ihn einfach wahrzunehmen. Ich bin wütend, ich bin wütend, ich bin jetzt die Wut. Das Wunderbare daran ist, dass Wut und Gewahrsein nicht gleichzeitig existieren kön-
    nen. Die Wut verschwindet. Denn nur wo Unbewusstheit herrscht, kann es Wut geben; das gilt auch für die Mordlust. Es hat sich in den letzten Jahrtausenden gezeigt, dass es nicht viel nützt, den Leuten das Morden abgewöhnen zu wollen, indem man ihnen die zehn Gebote predigt. Moses hätte seinem Volk lieber Methoden der bewussten Wahrnehmung beibringen sollen, um zu erreichen, dass sie mit dem Töten aufhören.
    Günter Nitschke, The Silent Orgasm. Liebe als Sprungbrett zur Selbsterkenntnis, S. 53, Taschen Verlag, Köln, 1995

 

  • Fachlich betrachtet kann Wut als implizit destruktive Aggressionsform gesehen werden, die die Zerstörung oder Schädigung Dritter in Kauf nimmt. Wut hat ein höheres Erregungsniveau als Ärger und Zorn. Sie ist eine starke Emotion, die zu impulsiven, aggressiven oder gewalttätigen Handlungen führen kann. Es handelt sich also um einen komplexen neurophysiologischen Vorgang. Wut ist eine Stressreaktion, die den Körper in erhöhte Alarmbereitschaft versetzt. Durch Ausschüttung von Adrenalin wird eine gesteigerte körperliche Leistungsbereitschaft erreicht, die uns
    zu allerlei Unfug treibt. Wut ist eigentlich ein Kinderverhalten.
    Prinzipiell ist zu empfehlen, die Wut konstruktiv auszuleben, nicht durch Provokationen und Beleidigungen oder
    Gewalt. Das kann beim Sport geschehen oder in bösen Gedanken. Unsere Gedankenwelt ist der einzige rechtsfreie Raum, der uns gehört. Wenn diese Gedanken regelmäßig vorkommen und immer detaillierter werden, sollte man
    sich jedoch professionelle Hilfe suchen. Man kann die Wut aber auch konstruktiv aufarbeiten, in dem man sich im
    Gespräch mit Vertrauten Luft macht. Immer wieder. Das tut gut und bringt einen runter.
    Folge nie spontan den Empfehlungen deiner Wut. Reagiere nie sofort darauf. Schlafe eine Nacht darüber. Zähle
    bis 30, bevor du beispielsweise deinem Partner wirklich wütende, verletzende Worte sagst. Diese stehen dann im
    Raum, sind wegen ihrer Schärfe nur schwer wegzubekommen und sorgen für weiteren Ärger, eine Wutspirale nach
    oben. Prof. Dr. Jens Weidner (*1958) deutscher Erziehungswissenschaftler, Kriminologe, Sozialisationstheoretiker, Aggressions-
    forscher, Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften, Hamburg, Managementtrainer, Redner, Autor, zitiert in: Interview "Folge nie spontan deiner Wut", präsentiert von dem deutschen Nachrichtenportal des Kölner Nachrichtensenders RTL N-TV Wissen, Christoph Rieke, 13. September 2018

 

  • [Nicht wortwörtlich übertragen] Männer haben eine viel höhere Selbstmordrate als Frauen. Außerdem steigt ihre Selbstmordrate mit zunehmendem Alter drastisch an. Männer im Alter zwischen 65 und 85 Jahren töten sich fast zehnmal häufiger als gleichaltrige Frauen. Außerdem agieren Männer im Gegensatz zu Frauen ihre Depression oft aus und verhalten sich aggressiver und mitunter auch gewalttätig. Die Komödiantin Elayne Boosler hat den Unter-
    schied zwischen Mann und Frau auf den Punkt gebracht, als sie feststellte:
"Wenn Frauen depressiv sind, essen sie oder gehen einkaufen. Männer überfallen ein anderes Land. Es ist eine
ganz andere Art zu denken."

  • Ich benutze den Begriff "Übellauniger Mann", um Männer zu beschreiben, die mit dem Syndrom der männlichen Reizbarkeit (SMR) nicht gut zurechtkommen. Diese Männer werden oft von Aggressionen getrieben, die sie ent-
    weder direkt ausdrücken oder häufiger noch unterdrücken. Deshalb erscheinen sie oftmals: mürrisch, wütend, schwermütig, ungeduldig, angespannt, feindselig, einsam und gestresst. Sie scheinen sich in ihrer eigenen
    Haut nicht wohl zu fühlen. Sie trinken womöglich zu viel, verausgaben sich bei ihrer Arbeit oder fliehen auf andere
    Weise. […]
    Die Partnerin des mürrischen Mann hat oft das Gefühl, "auf Eierschalen zu gehen". Sie weiß nicht, wie er reagieren wird. Manchmal ist er jovial, liebevoll und zärtlich. Doch er kann auch aus der Haut fahren und wütend reagieren.
    Oder er vergräbt sich schlichtweg in feindseliges Schweigen. Sie bemüht sich vielleicht, freundlich und verständnis-
    voll zu sein, und kann sich dennoch nicht erklären, was mit ihm los ist. Es hat durchaus den Anschein, als ob sie mit
    einem Partner zusammenlebt, der unmittelbar von Dr. Jekyll auf Mr. Hyde umschlagen kann. Ohne Hilfe und Unter-
    stützung kann sie sich zunehmend allein und hoffnungslos fühlen. […]
    Wenn das partnerschaftliche Vertrauen durch SMR untergraben wird, muss als Erstes diie SMR behandelt werden. Wenn der Hormonspiegel aus dem Gleichgewicht geraten ist, muss er wieder eingepegelt werden. Eine Hormoner-
    satztherapie kann in Betracht gezogen werden. Männer können jedoch auch von Ernährungsumstellung, Bewegung und einem Gesinnungswandel profitieren.

  • Wir leben in einer Zeit, in der männliche Reizbarkeit, Wut, Zorn und Gewalt in Filmen, Medien und in unserem Leben zunehmend akzeptiert werden. Das Männliche Reizbarkeitssyndrom (SMR) kann in jedem Alter auftreten, tritt allerdings am häufigsten bei jungen Männern und bei Männern über 40 Jahren auf. Oft sind wir uns des Aus-
    maßes unserer Wut nicht bewusst.
    Hier ist ein Fragebogen, der von Forschern der Harvard-Universität zur Beurteilung des Wutpegels bei Männern verwendet wird. Beantworten Sie die folgenden Fragen mit wahr oder falsch:
       1. Manchmal habe ich Lust zu fluchen.
       2. Manchmal habe ich Lust, Sachen zu zerstören.
       3. Ich kann oft nicht verstehen, weshalb ich so gereizt und mürrisch war.
       4. Manchmal habe ich Lust, mich mit jemandem zu prügeln.
       5. Ich werde leicht ungeduldig, wenn ich es mit Menschen zu tun habe.
       6. Mir wird oft nachgesagt, ich sei hitzköpfig.
       7. Ich ärgere mich oft, wenn sich jemand in einer Schlange vor mir zu drängeln möchte.
       8. Manchmal musste ich Leute ruppig abkanzeln, die unhöflich oder aufdringlich waren.
       9. Es tut mir oft leid, weil ich so gereizt und mürrisch bin.
       10. Es verärgert mich, wenn man mich hetzt.
       11. Ich bin sehr starrsinnig.
       12. Manchmal werde ich dermaßen wütend und rasend, dass ich mir nicht erklären kann,
             was plötzlich die Herrschaft in mir übernimmt.
       13. Wenn ich angetrunken war. bin ich so wütend geworden, dass ich Möbel oder Geschirr zerschlagen habe.
       14. Ich bin so wütend auf jemanden geworden, dass ich das Gefühl hatte, als würde ich explodieren.
       15. Ich war manchmal so wütend, dass ich mich mit anderen in einen Ringkampf begab und sie verletzt habe.
       16. Ich verliere fast nie die Selbstbeherrschung.
    Jedes "Wahr" für die Fragen 1-15 zählt als ein Punkt, und ein "Falsch" für die Frage 16 erhält einen Punkt. Je höher Ihre Gesamtpunktezahl ausfällt, umso höher ist Ihr Wutpegel angesiedelt.

  • Neurobiologisch gelten Zorn und Wut schon seit den alten Römern und Indern als eine vorübergehende Geistes-
    störung
    und psychische Fehlhaltung. Stress, Belastungssörungen, fehlende Resilienz bieten den Nährboden
    für Wut.
    Dann werden Adrenalin und Noradrenalin als Stresshormone freigesetzt und die negative Spirale setzt sich
    fort. "Wut macht blind", heißt es zurecht.
    Wenn die Glückshormone [Dopamin, Serotonin, Noradrenalin, Endorphine, Oxytocin, Phenethylamin (PEA)] nicht vor-
    handen sind, entstehen psychische Krankheiten, bei denen die Symptome Wut, Zorn, Hass, Aggression, Intoleranz
    das Resultat sind. Es ist ein gesamtgesellschaftliches Problem. Deshalb brauchen wir eine breite gesellschaftliche
    Debatte über Werte, Kultur, Glücksforschung, Bildung und Stressmanagement.

Angry men

  • Sadly, there is an enormous amount of angry men. [...] Women always want to know what male anger is about. I can tell you that when a man explodes with his partner in a relationship it's almost never about her or anything she ever said. Men get triggered. Their old stuff [...] literally stuffed down in their psyches, for 10, 20, 30, even 40 years. They stuff that pain, instead of dealing with it, because that's how they grow up thinking they were supposed to deal with it. Every time somebody says something that remotely triggers it they explode. I had a terrible temper. [...] none of us are particularly angry men any-
    more. Audio interview with Dave Talamo, US American founder of men's circles, Coaching the Life Coach, episode 8, MP3, pre-

  • I see anger as the guardian of boundaries. I see a lot of people caught in spiritual bypassing as having such poor boundaries they cannot say a clear NO. They are overly attached to being nice, and sweet, and go to look positive.
    There is this addiction to being positive. And, they are, in a sense, being negative about their negativity.

Using anger wisely:

  • I have learnt through bitter experience the one supreme lesson to conserve my anger, and as heat conserved is transmuted into energy, even so our anger controlled can be transmuted into a power which can move the world.
    Mohandas Karamchand Mahatma Gandhi [LoC 760] (1869-1948) Indian Hindu sage, spiritual activist leader, humanitarian, lawyer, nonviolent freedom fighter, presented by the Indian weekly newspaper Young India, 15. September 1920, reprinted in: The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi, volume XXI, S. 252, April 1913-December 1914, 1964

 

  • Our attitude is to take care of anger. We don't suppress or hate it, or run away from it. We just breathe gently and crad-
    le our anger in our arms with the utmost tenderness. Thich Nhat Hanh [LoC 460] (1926-2022) Vietnamese France based
    Buddhist monk, peace activist, teacher, author, poet, Anger. Wisdom for Cooling the Flames, Riverhead Books, 3. September 2002

 

  • Honor your anger. But before you express it, sort out the righteous from the unrighteous. Immediately after a storm,
    the water is muddy; rage is indiscriminate. It takes time to discriminate, for the mud to settle.
    But once the stream runs clear, express your outrage against any who have violated your being. Give the person you intend to love the gift of discriminating anger.
    Sam Keen, Ph.D. samkeen.com (*1931) US American professor of religion and philosophy, Harvard University, Princeton Univer-
    sity, author, Fire in the Belly. On Being a Man, S. 194, Bantam, April 1991, reissued paperback 1. March 1992

 

Conclusion

  • I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they
    will be forced to deal with pain. James Baldwin (1924-1987) US afroamerican social critic, playwright, essayist, short story wri-
    ter, novelist, article titled Me and My House, presented by the US American monthly magazine Harper's Magazine, November
    1955, republished in the non-fiction book Notes of a Native Son, Beacon Press, 1955

 

Insights

  • No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

  • The predominance of aggression in our behavior and language is more than a curious trend. Aggression only moves in one direction – it creates more aggression. We quickly become locked into a deteriorating cycle of increasing rage and violence. Caught in fear and anger, we lose the capacity to respond in any other way. We strike out ever more fiercely,
    thus creating more frightening reactions from those we oppose.
    Aggression is inherently destructive of relationships. People and ideologies are pitted against each other, believing that
    in order to survive, they must destroy the opposition. Article by Margaret J. Wheatley, Ed.D. (*1944) US American associate professor of management, researcher on organizational behavior, leadership consultant, co-founder and president emerita of the global charitable foundation The Berkana Institute, speaker, author, Geoff Crinean, Solving, not Attacking, Complex Problems.

  • You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger.

  • It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence. Mahatma Gandhi Mohandas Karamchand [LoC 760] (1869-1948) Indian sage, spiritual activist leader, humanitarian, lawyer, nonvio-
    lent freedom fighter, source unknown

 

  • Anybody can become angry – that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the
    right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way – that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.
    Aristotle [LoC 498] (384-322 BC) classical Greek pre-Christian philosopher, physician, scientist, misogynist, cited in: Goodreads Quotable Quote

 

  • For the spiritual scientist, anger is also the harbinger of something quite different. Life shows us that a person who is unable to flare up with anger at injustice or folly will never develop true kindness and love. Equally, a person who edu-
    cates himself through noble anger will have a heart abounding in love, and through love he will do good. Love and
    kindness are the obverse of noble anger. Anger that is overcome and purified will be transformed into the love that
    is its counterpart. A loving hand is seldom one that has never been clenched in response to injustice or folly. Anger
    and love are complementary.

    Transmuted anger is love in action. That is what we learn from reality. Anger in moderation has the mission of lea-
    ding human beings to love; we can call it the teacher of love.
    Rudolf Steiner [LoC 475] (1861-1925) Croation-born Austrian cultural philosopher, architect, literary critic, social reformer, author,

  • Prisoners never committed a crime. And you know what? They didn't. If you work with them for very long you can see a second aura hanging out over them. And if you make them mad enough then the second aura replaces
    the first aura.

  • Each egoic structure is a containment of consciousness. Anger contains the strength of your being. Don't try to
    get rid of the anger. Rather recognize it as a container. Acknowledging the container, bringing love to it, causes it to
    dissipate. This is alchemy. Pamela Wilson, South African US American Advaita teacher, source unknown

 

  • Anger is like gasoline. If you spray it around and somebody lights a match, you've got an inferno. [But] if we can put

Anger – "90 Seconds Rule":

Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor has recovered miraculously from a rare stroke after eight years. She who has become more compassionate than in her first life shares on the "90 Seconds Rule" and the physiological wiring of anger. Being angry is a loop, a circuitry inside the brain, restimulated by one's angry thoughts.

  • It takes 90 seconds for any emotion to come into your body, flush through your body and surge out of your body. Any emotion.
    If you feel yourself becoming angry I encourage people to 'Don't get hooked up in your anger, but feel the anger in
    your body, and then look at your watch, and then recognize that after 90 seconds it is totally gone from your body.
    And yet if you stay angry for longer than 90 seconds it is because you have consciously chosen to think the thoughts
    that bring you back into running the anger loop. [...]
    I call it the 90 Seconds Rule. People are always shocked on it. It's absolutely amazing. [...] And actually it works. [...]
    You are biologically designed to experience the moment, experience a thought, experience an emotion. Surge it through your body for 90 seconds, have your reactivity, and then move on to something else, come back to the pre-
    sent moment. Audio interview with Jill Bolte Taylor, M.D. (*1959) US American neuroanatomist, expert in the postmortem inves-

  • The Warrior archetype is hard-wired into our brain structure. Socialization means repression, which only keeps ag-
    gressiveness in an all the more volatile, compressed, and explosive form. But aggression is not, in and of itself,
    a bad thing.
    In many ways legitimate aggression contributes vitally to our lives. In aggression we find our drives
    for life, career, social contact, self-definition, and service. Perseverance and fidelity are products of the Warriors
    determination. Though the Lover initiates a relationship, it is the Warrior who maintains it – without the Warrior the
    Lover is merely promiscuous. The answer then is not to banish any of the archetypes, but to work on achieving
    the maturity necessary to manage them. Robert Moore, Ph.D. (1942-2016) US American Jungian psychoanalyst, pro-
    fessor of psychology, consultant, theorist, author, Douglas Gilette, US American author, The Warrior Within. Accessing the

Outrage differentiated from rage – conscious leadership

  • A new consciousness leader also knows the difference between outrage and rage.
    • I think of outrage as holy anger – strong emotional responsiveness to the pain of others, to injustice, to ignorance.
      Outrage is fierce but it never dehumanizes. It fills a leader's sails with the winds of action but it also fills her
      heart with compassion and discernment.
    • Rage on the other hand is like a forest fire. It burns everything in its path. It is impatient and vindictive and shortsighted. A new consciousness leader uses the energy of outrage to persuade and guide and include and create.

Psychology – Acting out anger

 

  • Anger is the deepest form of compassion, for another, for the world, for the self, for a life, for the body, for a family
    and for all our ideals, all vulnerable and all, possibly about to be hurt. Stripped of physical imprisonment and violent reaction, anger is the purest form of care, the internal living flame of anger always illuminates what we belong to, what we wish to protect and what we are willing to hazard ourselves for. What we usually call anger is only what is left of its essence when we are overwhelmed by its accompanying vulnerability, when it reaches the lost surface of our mind or our body’s incapacity to hold it, or when it touches the limits of our understanding. What we name as anger is actually only the incoherent physical incapacity to sustain this deep form of care in our outer daily life; the unwillingness to be large enough and generous enough to hold what we love helplessly in our bodies or our mind with the clarity and breadth of our whole being. David Whyte (*1955) US American poet, writer, Consolations. The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words, Many Rivers Press, 1. January 2015

 

  • What we have named as anger on the surface is the violent outer response to our own inner powerlessness, a po-
    werlessness connected to such a profound sense of rawness and care that it can find no proper outer body or identi-
    ty or voice, or way of life to hold it. What we call anger is often simply the unwillingness to live the full measure of our
    fears or of our not knowing, in the face of our love for a wife, in the depth of our caring for a son, in our wanting the
    best, in the face of simply being alive and loving those with whom we live.
  • Our anger breaks to the surface most often through our feeling there is something profoundly wrong with this power-
    lessness and vulnerability. […] Anger in its pure state is the measure of the way we are implicated in the world and made vulnerable through love in all its specifics. David Whyte (*1955) US American poet, writer, Consolations. The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words, Many Rivers Press, 1. January 2015

 

  • Anger truly felt at its center is the essential living flame of being fully alive and fully here; it is a quality to be followed
    to its source, to be prized, to be tended, and an invitation to finding a way to bring that source fully into the world
    through making the mind clearer and more generous, the heart more compassionate and the body larger and strong
    enough to hold it. What we call anger on the surface only serves to define its true underlying quality by being a com-
    plete but absolute mirror-opposite of its true internal essence. David Whyte (*1955) US American poet, writer, Conso-
    lations. The Solace, Nourishment and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words
    , Many Rivers Press, 1. January 2015

 

  • Imagine you are walking in the woods and you see a small dog sitting by a tree. As you approach it, it suddenly lun-
    ges at you, teeth bared. You are frightened and angry. But then you notice that one of its legs is caught in a trap. Im-
    mediately your mood shifts from anger to concern: You see that the dog's aggression is coming from a place of vul-
    nerability and pain. This applies to all of us. When we behave in hurtful ways, it is because we are caught in some
    kind of trap. The more we look through the eyes of wisdom at ourselves and one another, the more we cultivate a
    compassionate heart. Tara Brach, Ph.D. tarabrach.com (*1953) US American psychologist, political scientist, proponent of Buddhist meditation, author, True Refuge: Finding Peace and Freedom in Your Own Awakened Heart, Bantam House, 22. January 2013

 

  • Humility doesn't come easily to selfish, self-centered, self-absorbed, narcissistic men. [...]

  • [Paraphrased] Men have much higher suicide rates than women do and that suicide rates increase dramatically
    as men age. Men between the ages of 65 and 85 killed themselves almost 10 times more frequently than do women
    of the same age. Further, unlike women, men often "act out" their depression and become more aggressive and
    sometimes violent. The comedian Elayne Boosler captured these male/female differences when she observed,
    "When women are depressed, they eat or go shopping. Men invade another country. It's a whole different
    way of thinking."

  • I define Irritable Male Syndrome (IMS) as a state of hypersensitivity, anxiety, frustratrion and anger that occurs
    in males and is associated with biochemical changes, hormonal fluctuations, stress, and a loss of male identity.
    The five key causes of IMS are:
    1. Hormonal fluctuations (andropause; low testosterone level)
    2. Changes in brain chemistry
    3. Increasing stress
    4. Loss of male identity and increasing role confusion
    5, Loneliness, depression (Noonday Demon).
    What the women have told me that one of the characterictics of IMS is generally denial.

  • I use the term "Mr. Mean" to describe men who have not dealt effectively with Irritable Male Syndrome. These men are often driven by aggression, either expressed directely, or more often suppressed. As a result they often seem: Grumpy, angry, gloomy, impatient, tense, hostile, lonely, and stressed. They don’t seem comfortable in their own skin. They may drink too much, become consumed with their work, or escape in other ways.
    She [Mr. Mean's partner] often feels like she is "walking on egg shells." She doesn't know how he will react. Sometimes he is easy going, loving, and tender. But he may also fly off the handle and react with anger. Or he may simply withdraw into hostile silence. She may go out of her way to be kind and understanding, but she is confused about what is going on with him. It may seem like she is living with a partner who can change from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde. Without help and support, she can feel increasingly alone and hopeless. […]
    If the trust is being undermined by IMS, that needs to be dealt with first. If hormone levels are out of balance, they need to be brought back in line. Hormone replacement therapy can be considered, but men can also benefit from changes in diet, exercise, changes in mind-set.

  • Men and women often express stress in their lives differently.
    Women often "act in" their stress and feel sad and depressed.
    Men, on the other hand, often "act out" their stress and become irritable and angry.
    Women often internalize their pain and blame themselves for their problems.
    Men often externalize their pain and blame the women in their lives.
    When I counsel men, I often hear a litany of complaints that often focus on their wives.
    After listening and empathizing I begin to help them recognize that it isn't their "wife" that is the problem, but rather their "life" that is out of balance.
    I also help them see that the stress isn't just coming from their internal state of being, but also results from
    the world around us.

  • We live at time where male irritability, anger, rage, and violence have become increasingly acceptable in movies, media, and our lives. Irritable Male Syndrome (IMS) can occur at any age, but is most prevalent in young men and
    in men over 40. We often aren’t aware of the extent of our anger. Here's a questionnaire used by Harvard University
    researchers in assessing anger in men. Answer true or false to the following:
    1. At times I feel like swearing.
    2. At times I feel like smashing things.
    3. I often can't understand why I’ve been so irritable and grouchy.
    4. At times I feel like picking a fistfight with someone.
    5. I easily become impatient with people.

Five constitutions of violence prone males

  1. The male brain is not wired for empathy. Men can learn to become more empathic.
  2. Males have higher levels of testosterone. Strengthening of family ties;
    encouraging fathers to stay involved with their children
  3. Males generate lower levels of oxytocin. Get a good massage regularly.
  4. Males have fewer friends than females. Engage in close friendships. Join a men's group.
  5. Men react more violently to shame than women. Address shame. Accept it rather than denying it.

Men Become Violent and What We Can Do to Make the World Safer

  • The word anger covers many different related experiences. There is a range of angry feelings, from slight annoyance
    to rage. There are not just differences in the strength of angry feelings, but also differences in the kind of anger felt.
    Indignation is self-righteous anger,
    sulking is passive anger;
    exasperation refers to having one's patience tried excessively.
    Revenge is a type of angry action usually committed after a period of reflection about the offense.
Paul Ekman, Ph.D. paulekman.com (*1934) US American professor of psychology, anthropologist, pioneer in the study of emoti-
ons, author, Emotions Revealed. Recognizing Faces and Feelings to Improve Communication and Emotional Life, S. 129, Owl

The focus on the negative will destroy relationships.

Over time the negative memories overwhelm while the positives are forgotten.

 

  • The engine of aggression is frustration. Behind every violent act, word or feeling is pent-up frustration, unrecog-
    nized, undeclared but powerful. The adolescent erupting in hostile speech or behaviour either against himself or
    others has no clue about the nature of his frustration or its basic causes. The immediate target is incidental.
    Blog article Are Violent Teens Suffering 'The Rage Of The Unparented'?, presented by the website Dr. Gabor Maté, Stepha-
    nie Lee, 15. November 2014

 

  • All too often, anger becomes an alluring substitute for grieving, promising agency and control when one's real situation does not offer control. […] Anger is often well-grounded, but it is too easy for it to hijack the necessary mourning process. Martha Nussbaum (*1947) US American law and ancient Greek/Roman philosophy professor, University
    of Chicago, specialized in political philosophy, feminism, ethics, animal rights, author, Anger and Forgiveness. Resentment, Gene-
    rosity, Justice
    , Oxford University Press, 2. May 2016

 

  • Anger is not always, but very often, about status-injury. And status-injury has a narcissistic flavor: rather than focu-
    sing on the wrongfulness of the act as such, a focus that might lead to concern for wrongful acts of the same type
    more generally, the status-angry person focuses obsessively on herself and her standing vis-à-vis others. […]
    We are prone to anger to the extent that we feel insecure or lacking control with respect to the aspect of our goals
    that has been assailed – and to the extent that we expect or desire control. Anger aims at restoring lost control and
    often achieves at least an illusion of it. To the extent that a culture encourages people to feel vulnerable to affront
    and down-ranking [rankism] in a wide variety of situations, it encourages the roots of status-focused anger.
    Martha Nussbaum (*1947) US American law and ancient Greek/Roman philosophy professor, University of Chicago, specialized
    in political philosophy, feminism, ethics, animal rights, author, Anger and Forgiveness. Resentment, Generosity, Justice, Oxford University Press, 2. May 2016

 

  • Men in particular think that they have achieved something if they can make a woman mad, particularly if she is calm and intellectual. Often, they use the attempt to make you mad as a way of flirting, no doubt thinking that unlocking the pent-up emotions of such a woman is a sexual victory. (And note that they assume these emotions are pent up in ge-
    neral, not merely unavailable to them!) This exceedingly tedious exercise shows that they have few or no interesting resources for flirting (such as humor or imagination), and it really has the opposite effect from the one intended, boring the woman, who has certainly seen this before, and making them look very silly. Martha Nussbaum (*1947) US American law and ancient Greek/Roman philosophy professor, University of Chicago, specialized in political philosophy, feminism, ethics, animal rights, author, Anger and Forgiveness.

Note:

Aggression in male mice is linked to the brain's reward centers much as food, sex, and drugs are.

  • Aggression occurs among virtually all vertebrates and is necessary to get and keep important resources such as mates, territory and food. We have found that the 'reward pathway' in the brain becomes engaged in response to an aggressive event and that dopamine is involved. Video presentation by Craig Kennedy, Ph.D.,
    US American professor of special education and pediatrics, Vanderbilt College, Male Aggression and Reward in the Brain, YouTube film, 2:01 minutes duration, posted by Vanderbilt University, 5. March 2008

 

  • Anger is a necessary part of the dance of love. Think of clean anger as the voice of the wise serpent on the early American flag who says, "Don't tread on me."
    Without anger we have no fire, no thunder and lightning to defend the sanctuary of the self.
    No anger = no boundaries = no passion. Sam Keen, Ph.D. samkeen.com (*1931) US American professor of religion and philosophy, Harvard University, Princeton University, author, source unknown

 

  • Resentment is like a poison we carry around inside us with the hope that when we get the chance we can deposit it where it will harm another who has injured us. The fact is that we carry this poison at extreme risk to ourselves.
    Bert Ghezzi (*1941) US American speaker, author, Angry Christian. How to Control And Use Your Anger, Servant Publications,
    1st edition 1. January 1980

 

 

  • Men are born angry. That fury is a secret covenant. A foundational agreement. If the patriarchy were a visible religious organization complete with berobed priests every newborn boy would be baptized with the words "Thou shalt raise thy voice for thou art wrathful."
    Our anger is sacred.
    This single, lonely emotion unites men of all classes, creeds, and races. It is the primary perk of my gender: silent per-
    mission to rage at that which frightens, or frustrates. Society makes space for male anger, which is why more men aren't more embarrassed post-outburst. Men who are successful are allowed to get angry at those who defy them.
    Men who are failures are also allowed to get angry at those who defy them. This is the deal. No matter a man's lot in
    life he is entitled to yell. And the world is supposed to cower, or endure, the spittle-flecked gibberish. […]
    In the fine print of the male social contract are cruel terms. A man must project strength. A man cannot show weak-
    ness. A man who cries is weak. A man who despairs is weak. Do not feel. Instead, get angry because anger is fear
    with boxing gloves. Blog article The Powerlessness Of Male Anger, John DeVore, presented by the stories outlet and conversation about masculinity and pop culture Medium · Humungus, 12. July 2019

 

  • Anger doesn't do anything, just makes a mess. Until you learn how to use anger to channel it just drop it, just put it in the closet and let it sit there and simmer until you know how to use it. You can use anger very constructively but if you don't know how, then you're just gonna end up shooting yourself in the foot and maybe somebody you love along with you.

  • Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned

Quotes on anger – 14th Dalai Lama

  • Question: Do you ever feel angry or outraged?
    Answer: Oh, yes, of course. I'm a human being. Generally speaking, if a human being never shows anger, then I think something's wrong. He's not right in the brain. [Laughs.] H.H. 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso [LoC 570] (*1935) Tibetan monk, leader of religious officials of the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" branch of Tibetan Buddhism, 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama, pre-
    sented by the US American weekly news magazine TIME, 14. June 2010

 

  • Sometimes, when we are discouraged by a difficult situation, anger does seem helpful, appearing to bring more ener-
    gy, confidence and determination. And while it is true that anger brings extra energy, it eclipses the best part of our brain: its rationality. So the energy of anger is almost always unreliable. It can cause an immense amount of destructive, unfortunate behavior. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso [LoC 570] (*1935) Tibetan monk, leader of religious officials of the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" branch of Tibetan Buddhism, Facebook comment 11. October 2010

 

  • Anger cannot be overcome by anger. If someone is angry with you, and you show anger in return, the result is a di-
    saster. On the other hand, if you control your anger and show its opposite – love, compassion, tolerance and pati-
    ence – not only will you remain peaceful, but the other person's anger will also diminish.
    H.H. 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso [LoC 570] (*1935) Tibetan monk, leader of religious officials of the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" branch of Tibetan Buddhism, Facebook comment, 27. May 2011

 

  • Question: Is any anger acceptable in Buddhism?
    Answer: Buddhism in general teaches that anger is a destructive emotion and although anger might have some positive effects in terms of survival or moral outrage, I do not accept that anger of any kind as a virtuous emotion nor aggression as constructive behavior. The Gautama Buddha has taught that there are three basic kleshas at the root
    of samsara (bondage, illusion) and the vicious cycle of rebirth. These are greed, hatred, and delusion – also transla-
    table as attachment, anger, and ignorance. They bring us confusion and misery rather than peace, happiness, and fulfillment. It is in our own self-interest to purify and transform them.
    H.H. 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso [LoC 570] (*1935) Tibetan monk, leader of religious officials of the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" branch of Tibetan Buddhism, cited: by Lama Surya, Transforming Anger. Even the Dalai Lama gets angry. The trick is what you
    do with it.

Overcoming anger

President Abraham Lincoln who struggled with his depression held together the opposites of darkness and light
in his own psyche as well as his country at his time.
At a special prayer day he had asked the troops of the north to pray also for the south troops. To his critics who
felt that this is undermining the moral of the troops he said:

"We need to be able to remain human even though we are fighting this war."

 

There was one of Lincoln's very rare outbursts of anger in 'Soldiers Home', a cottage in the country on a high hill, where Lincoln ruminated on emancipation proclamations and more.
An officer came to him in need as his wife had drowned in a ferry boat in the Potomac River. Lincoln reacted infuri-
ated due to the disturbance:

"Why do you bring that up to me?
Go have someone else in the White House deal with it!"

 

Following night Lincoln could not sleep all night. He sat up that night and recognized his mistake. The next mor-
ning he took care to find the hotel where the officer stayed in. He knocked at the door and apologized to the man assuring him:

"We will find your wife!"

Traurigkeit findet im Hippocampus statt, dem kognitiven, denkenden Bereich des Gehirns (Abruf und Interpretation von alten Erfahrungen), eher geringe Körperreaktionen.
Bei Ärger wird das Reptiliengehirn angeworfen, er findet in der Amygdala (im limbischen System) statt, Adrenalin wird ausgeschüttet, Puls und Blutdruck steigen unmittelbar an.

Selfcontrol and intelligence are the two keys for success in life. Violent behavior is poor selfcontrol. The leading cause of murder is anger.
Hangry students and spouses under test – do better when their brains are well fed and watered.
Selfcontrol can be trained (waiting for two Marshmallows, exercise, using the non-dominant hand, speaking in complete sentences, forego
arguments over dinner).
