What is Anger?

Anger is an emotion which can be sparked by many things and factors, and can vary widely, from mild to irritation to intense fury; however it should be understood that anger is a natural reaction that we as humans experience, as anger is a natural response to certain threats. Therefore, although a certain amount of anger can be okay and actually is necessary, such as during times when we need to defend ourselves, there are other times then when anger can go too far.
There are basically three main approaches in regards to expressing anger, which are: expression, suppression, and calming. As well, anger can also be suppressed and then redirected, meaning that the anger itself might be taken out on someone who truly had nothing to do with it, but the anger that has been suppressed just happened to be expressed at that particular point in time.
