Reflections (2) – A man who does not get angry!

Have you seen a man who never ever gets angry at anything? It could mean one of four things:
1. He is foolish.
2. He is mentally challenged.
3. He is a con man. One who has something to hide!
4. He is evil in disguise: pure undiluted evil.
Make no mistake. He is not a good person. A good person will be angry in the face of injustice, oppression, corruption, lies, deceit and other vices. Who is a good person that won't be furious when cheated on by his/her spouse? What kind of person won't get cross in light of a betrayal, heartbreak, disappointment, rejection, and things of this sort? The moment you don't get indignant in the face of the ills of this life, it could mean one of the four things above. Don't get me wrong:
Psalms 4:4: 'Be agitated but do not sin.'
Eccl. 7:7: ' For mere oppression may make a wise one act crazy'.
Eph. 4:24: 'Be wrathful, and yet do not sin; let the sun not set with you in a provoked state'.
It's called righteous indignation.
Be leery of those who always agree with you, never find any fault with what you do, and too cool to a fault. Don't keep a close friend who would always agree with you. I get scared in a relationship when everything is good and smooth. Too good to be true is a truism. Except one who is mentally challenged, every man expresses his anger one way or the other. The man who always keep his anger concealed in the sight of others will surely seek other means to express it and those means are often more deadly. That's the kind of man who doesn't get angry when he finds his spouse cheating on him only for the spouse and the lover to turn up dead.
Please, when you're truly offended, express your anger in a dignified manner. Pent-up anger is deadly. On the other hand, be worried when you stop being angry at the ills of this world. It could mean you are now cool with those ills.

It’s reasonable to argue that it’s wrong to be the irritable guy who is always vexed on every issue. It’s also right to keep your cool in the face of some challenging circumstances in order to maintain peace and order. Yet, there is a balance that needs to be struck. Neither extreme is good: being irritable or being overly passive. No one likes an irritable man; we don’t feel comfortable around such a person. Yet, it’s a good thing when other people know that you are not happy about certain things. Let it show in your emotions that you are not OK with certain developments. You caught a man stealing your properties in broad-day light. You are not going to smile at him. You are not going to quietly dismiss it. You should express the appropriate emotion that will send him the right message: ‘That is my property, thief’! One of such emotions is anger. Justifiable and responsible anger!
