Anger versus Love – 250 word prose

What is anger? Is it the opposite from love, generated from disappointment and frustration when a situation is out of control and seems to be reaching a foregone (and unwanted) conclusion? Are you angry at them or yourself? Are you angry at what life has thrown at you? Isn't life unfair!

You feel it bubbling up inside you, like a witch's brew, except this is not a positive, curing, magic brew; it is violent and destructive! A sour stench pervades the atmosphere, heat and sparks leap from your skin and you look like a fiery furnace. Your head and heart hammer and pound. Anger is a negative (and wasted) energy, but can be hard for us to overcome and eliminate from our persona. Perhaps some of us are not yet spiritually advanced enough to deal with this emotion in a constructive manner?

There is nothing wrong with having emotions, for we are all human! Love is a good, positive, all-embracing emotion to have. It brings all nations, races, sexes and religions together as we appreciate and celebrate our diversity. Love is a constructive emotion that overcomes all and enables us all to move forward in our lives, but anger is destructive and holds us all back in the same place. The negativity of anger is catching and brings everyone down. It causes disease and destruction to people's lives, first mentally, then physically. So, next time, someone angers you, take heart and a deep breath and breathe love onto the situation.
