Generally, anger is categorized as quite a negative emotion. Not only is it “bad” physiologically (high blood pressure, hormonal release, etc.) but psychologically the phenomenon of anger invites a host of less desireable afflictions. Why, then would one want to blog about being angry, that too injecting the “Hindu” tag? Isn’t Hinduism associated with peace, love, and the Beatles?
Right on, brothers and sisters. But sometimes anger is a good thing. Sometimes it can be channeled into a useful force- a force for change. Be it Arjun on Kurukshetra, Gandhi in South Africa or King in Alabama, the visceral rise in emotion was followed closely by action. Positive, sustained, well-thought action.
This, then, is a call to action. The words you read and hopefully the dialogue that ensues may make your blood boil, it may increase your heart rate, it may release noradrenaline into your blood stream.
Good. Now what are you going to do about it?
