Understanding Anger

Saturday December 31, 2005
Anger: The Seven Deadly Sins Book of the Day: Anger: The Seven Deadly Sins, by Robert A. F. Thurman. Publisher: Oxford University Press.

Everyone gets angry from time to time - arguments, heated words, and hateful thoughts that we wish we could take back. Anger has been the cause of much suffering, sorrow, and tragedy. Some argue that anger is an inevitable part of being human, something that must be endured and channeled; some even argue that it has its uses if properly directed. Others, though, argue that anger is not inevitable and must be overcome in order for a more peaceful society to emerge. Who is right?
