Test, on which rung of evolutionary ladder,you stand?
Anger is a negative emotion. This is accepted to be a natural behaviour in reaction to something annoying. However, one can not take credit for being swayed by anger. It should be avoided. That is what is a general belief. Anger impacts health as well as relationships, personal as well as social.
We generally overlook its underlying machinations. Anger does not arise on its own. It is substantially an effect, caused by negative emotion generated within one's core. The same cause generates anger of varying magnitude, depending on the mental evolution of the subject. Just think, how would an irked dog react ? The same way as would a sober gentle person? Comparisons mean nothing unless one understands that any emotion may find an outlet by means of fierce outburst if involuntary responses are akin to instinctive promptings that dominate the creatures of lower origin.
Anger may be involuntary and voluntary, both.
An assumed mental status accompanying an assumed emotional build up may as well be expressed in the form of anger that is voluntary, not involuntary.
An involuntary expression is that which arises by default, i.e., without your doing anything, it occurs, irrespective whether you chose it or not.
Then how to distinguish what is involuntary and what is voluntary? Simple. Put yourself to this test. Let reasonable time pass by. Recreate the same situation which evoked the anger , the genre of which you wish to test. If it was voluntary, the same may be recreated, but if it was involuntary, its recreation would not seem feasible.
Besides, an involuntary outburst leaves one somewhat exhausted and out of ones own stead. The voluntary expression would rather energise, as does an energy producing breathing exercise.
It is wrong to assume that becoming angry is a natural conduct. It is ,of course natural, for those who are still stuck up on the evolutionary ladder in the instinctive world that dominates lower creatures. They are, so to say, evolved animals, but undeveloped, or at best, developing humans.
Evolution is a term that has vast spectrum, one being ascertainable by the extent of voluntary or involuntary nature of expressions or reactions which keep arising on regular basis. There are other ingredients or shades in the spectrum, like the level of objectivity. What is objectivity is not difficult to understand. We have five senses which feed our consciousness. Think, what rules over what, the consciousness on the senses or vice versa. One who is aware of the fact that the inputs and outputs which are routed through the senses can be seen as some thing happening as though on a cinema screen is capable of achieving levels of objectivity. One laughs or weeps or feels sorry, but the question is whether while undergoing such experiences one is aware. Being aware means, while weeping, I unconsciously say to myself, I am weeping and also see myself weeping, laughing or scolding or being scolded or being abused or whatever. Once a level of objectivity is achieved, there might not arise a situation to get involuntarily angered or even elated. Things tend to pass by like it does on a stage where characters playing drama do all sorts of acts that we do on this world-stage, but without registering any negative or positive impacts on the human mind. Once the artist steps down the stage, the character vanishes from the person, but the person that originally subsisted in the artist, carries on. This can, better say this does, happen in real life. This is one facet of evolution. Test yourself where, on which rung of the evolutionary ladder, you stand.
