Bored Panda spoke to Professor Suzanne Degges-White, a Licensed Counselor and Chair at the Department of Counseling and Higher Education at Northern Illinois University about anger and its pros and cons.
According to her, even though anger can lead to social change, it can also greatly harm us if we can’t control it or learn to let go.
“Constant anger can lead to metabolic diseases, cardiovascular problems, and digestive issues. For some people, health concerns are the reason that they may learn to let go of anger,” she explained to Bored Panda very recently.
“While being angry can lead to social change and begin to topple barriers and other aspects of injustice, we also know that anger isn't going to be the best choice to build alliances or convince others of the need for change,” the professor noted.
“Finding common ground is essential in making true, collaborative change. This requires us to let go of anger, whether that is finding a way to sublimate it or overcome it, or just put it aside for the time being.
