And The Killer Is . . . ANGER
Have you ever been so angry that you've wanted to lash out at somebody? You see it in relationships all the time. People will say horrible things to each other and will even strike or harm someone they love. Anger will control you, make you do something you will regret for the rest of your life.
Anger is one of the basic human emotions, as elemental as happiness, sadness, anxiety, or disgust. These emotions are tied to basic survival and were honed over the course of human history. Anger is related to the “fight, flight, or freeze” response of the sympathetic nervous system; it prepares humans to fight. But fighting doesn't necessarily mean throwing punches; it might motivate communities to combat injustice by changing laws or enforcing new behavioral norms.
Everyone knows the feeling. It's that rage that rises when a driver is cut off on the highway—and just wants to floor it and flip the bird. Anger doesn't dissipate just because it is unleashed; in fact, that can reinforce and deepen it.
Anger
Feels bad past the first rush of it
Stresses the body, over time wearing down health
Narrows attention, losing sight of the big picture
Clouds judgment, driving us to act impulsively, potentially violently
Creates and revs up conflicts with others.
Anger often hurts us more than it hurts others. I believe there is a saying from Alcoholics Anonymous: “Resentment is like taking poison . . . and waiting for others to die.” This metaphor of a beguiling toxin is also found in a description from early Buddhism: “Anger has a honeyed tip . . . and a poisoned barb.”
Most 'mass killings' and 'serial killings' are a product of uncontrolled anger. It is the meat of what's wrong with human society. If unchecked, it will eventually rule the world. It is EVIL and wants YOU.
Stay safe out there. Until next we meet,
