By Ray Tapajna based on Personality and Character course by Father McQuade SJ JCU Can Rage be controlled ?
Usually people characterize the emotion of rage by the term "temper". " I have a violent temper," they say. They are really admitting they are subject to the emotion of rage, that they have no control, or at least very little, over the emotion. They act as if it is a natural thing and it is now.
Rage is the most unreasonable of all bodily resonances. It brings on violent physical changes which are in no sense directed toward the solving the problem. A golfer who plays poorly, breaks his clubs one by one over his knee is a good example or irrational rage.
Rage is one of the most disasterous emotions in pursuing the life ideal and happiness. Men and women say things and do things in a fit of temper lose spouses, marital happinessand isolates himself socially, and even makes himself an enemy of society doing things in a fit of fury. In most cases rage has the least excuses of all emotions. The emotion of rage seems to be accepted as falatistically. People excuse it as having a terrible temper and not much can be done to change it. Even a father who harms his crying baby by shaking it will use this excuse.
Rage can be controlled and is just as curable a adjusting the emotions of grief or fear. In a quiet reflection, a person can judge rage for what it is. He must see that this emotional explosion are a childish way of facing trouble. Children use their rage to get what they want and find that their emotional outburst work. People who fall into furys of rage, do the same thing. There has to be a rational objective rejection of this type of behavior. We need to realize it something we can get over. We know when someone loses their control in sports, it affects their skills and winning the contest. We can evaluate what we lose when this emotion takes over. The concept of counting to ten before reacting to a stimuli causing rage is a good way to sart. It would even be better, if one were to day five times to himself " Rage is a childish way of handling this situation. I must find a mature way to respond or handle this situation."
Rage and temper do have some positive parts however. It is bad only in terms of its abuse. Well controlled, it can be a strong way in controlling the difficult things in our lives. In self-defense or in the defense of another particularly those who are in our charge, anger may bring us extra energy to confront a terrible situation. The Bible says " Beware the wrath of a patient man". Here is a deep truth where rage under contol and rationally directed can fit a terrible happening.
A truly controlled emotion of rage is part of a solid personality and character and can attract others because all are interested in seeking a rational control over all their difficulties.
The working term in controlling rage is using patience and reason whenever it flares up. Contradictions of emotional responses without a reasonable approach hinders relationships, the life ideal and happiness on all levels.
