Expressing Anger
To function successfully in our complex world it is necessary for us to possess the capacity not only to express our anger but also not to express it.
We must possess the capacity to express our anger in different ways.

At other times it is more to our benefit to express it immediately and spontaneously.
Sometimes it is best to express it coldly and calmly; at other times loudly and hotly.
