Anger Management

Anger is a double whack of emotion. It can be good or bad; the choice is ours. But it is something that needs to be managed or it can get out of hand and cause harm. Protesting is a form of anger and as such can be something to inspire change for a good or can turn into something that causes hysterical harm. Tragically, protesting or a display of anger over an issue, is also a money maker or attention getter for some individuals or groups that make their fame and living out of it. They have formed networks that produce signage and organized strategies and send their stable of speakers and professional protesters along to organize these outbursts anywhere on anything. They keep emotionally uninvolved. They carry no particular personal motivation for what they manage; they simply do it as their jobs. They travel the world becoming involved in the business of others while assuming their help is needed and they do not assume responsibility for what occurs even though they don a mask that purports to convey the message of those who hire them. Along with these so-called professional protesters is an uninvited criminal element also at work during angry protests. They take advantage of the rage of others to loot, cause fights and encourage harm. Sometimes a perfectly logical and reasonable cause is destroyed by these criminals who thieve at smash and grab venues and deliberately attract the media which they blatantly enjoy.The hungry media laps it all up for their purposes which pleases the protesters who seek this sort of advertising. Anger that is good anger, can inspire positive action rather than merely remaining passive and allowing unfair conditions to exist without comment. Their actions are intended to allow them to assert their rights without causing harm. Everyone has the right to express an opinion albeit with reasonable boundaries. This kind of protest is an accepted responsibility. To expect governments to response instantaneously to a protestable situation is not possible, therefore citizens often resort to peaceful protests to get their messages across. When there are crowds of people chanting and marching there are bound to be those whose angers over the issue erupt into a rash of anger that is uncontrolled and that's where trouble begins. Naturally, those whose professional jobs in policing society are to control mobs, must use their tactics to quell what could turn into bedlam that can do harm to the innocent. Unfortunately, there are certain enforcers who are unsuitable at this work and who overstep their parameters. These individuals don't know how to manage their angers either. They don't belong in the kind of social services they were trained to do. They think that their power is infallible and it isn't. They are there to protect, not to harm but power is a heavy burden and this sort misuses it. The results of control by unsuitable controllers begs the question, who hired them?
