Have you ever noticed that when you’re angry it’s difficult to feel anything else? I’m guessing that you’re not feeling very happy when you’re angry. What about acceptance? Have you ever noticed where your acceptance level is when you’re angry?

When we’re angry, we tend to have more of a combative attitude. We’re more likely to fight life as opposed to accept it as it is. I discussed the importance of acceptance in detail in the post titled The Answer where I mentioned that acceptance is the answer to our problems. Acceptance brings us peace, serenity and happiness and anger makes us less accepting so from this we can deduce that anger decreases our ability to be happy and peaceful. Simple, right?

Let’s get even simpler. When we feel angry, we do not feel happy at the same time. Again, anger prevents us from being happy at the moment that we are angry. So, if we want to be happy at any given moment, it might be a good idea not to be angry

This is the simplest and shortest post I’ve written to date, but what else can I say, the point is simple. I will continue to discuss anger and its relationship to happiness in other posts that I hope will help to eliminate your anger. May you be happy and at peace.
