Human Anger
"Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires."-James 1:19-20
What is human anger?
It's anger that occurs when someone rubs against our pride or selfishness. God still wants us to get angry, but for the right reasons such as the injustice of orphans or widows.
Learn to control your selfish anger. When you feel yourself getting angry because your feelings are hurt, swallow it and focus your mind on something else. What I sometimes do is distract myself with something else, like counting to 100 or singing a song.
Staying in your anger only produces more anger. Practice refocusing your mind as many times as needed.
