Male Anger

For many men, the reality of anger is as common as a winter cold. Many are live ticking time bombs with the potential for an explosion that will decimate themselves and others within the range of their blast. However, we were taught by family or society that it is not "manly" to outwardly express our emotions. We were taught not to cry nor illustrate any emotion that could be perceived by others as a sign of weakness. It's interesting that men are encouraged not to exemplify their emotions; however surviving victims that are pulled from the rubble and ruin of an anger explosion quickly realize that it is better to vent pressure than to retain it until it blows. Many of our physical illnesses can be related to compressed anger that also affects our emotional and spiritual health. Many of us are in control, yet out of control. We are in control of our titles, responsibilities, and positions, yet out of control because we are paralyzed by unresolved issues and inner struggles. For this reason, anger becomes the primary emotion from being confined to a wheelchair of pain and hopelessness. However, the good news is once we have identified and exposed the area of anger we can make the conscious choice to change the man in the mirror.
