Anger as a Signal

October 9, 2024

We’ve been taught to believe that anger is wrong, something to be hidden or suppressed. We pretend we don’t feel it, or worse, convince ourselves it doesn’t exist. But emotions are signals. They point us to where we’re hurting. When we ignore or deny them, the impact shows up in indirect, often unhealthy ways down the road.

But if we take the time to be aware, these emotions tell us exactly what we need. It’s almost like a health card, giving us insights into our emotional and mental state. Yet, denial often feels like the easier route because confronting pain takes work. It’s a process, not an immediate shift.

Looking at Maya Angelou’s words, she’s right—anger is real, and it needs to be expressed. The key is not to let anger control us or turn into bitterness. Instead, we respect it, channel it into action, and let it speak, even if no one else around us understands.
