GRIEF AND ANGER
Anger is an extreme displeasure, hostility or exasperation towards someone or something. It is an emotion, which uncontrolled, can lead to unpleasant events.
Anger could be either constructive or destructive. Constructive anger is anger communicated in a reasonable and proper manner and associated with a reasonable issue. It is the driving force behind the desire to improve one's self or fight injustice.
Destructive anger is harmful and is expressed destructively for self-centered motives. This type of anger affects the body negatively by raising blood pressure, the heart rate goes up and the muscles become tense. Some people look for an avenue to vent their anger and end up doing or saying things that they would regret for a long time.
