When we're under pressure, it feels like the heart is pumping so fast it almost break your chest. You get mad and angry. Feeling like slamming the door or breaking a mirror or smashing a glass; it sounded brutal right now but on that particular moment, it is the surreal thing to do. Just to get the anger out of your body and express your outrage to the world.

Well, that feeling is normal. When things get out of control, we can easily lose ourselves. We forget about tomorrow or the consequence. We forget things can go really bad and we're going to deal with it the next day.  But there and then, nothing else matters.

The art of anger management is hard. Islam teach us to stay calm and take wudhu' when we're overwhelmed with anger. Islam teach us to sit down or lay down just to keep our emotion in control. Islam reminds us that a strong man is the one who can control his anger. The consequence of acting out of anger can be severe; A family can be broken, a partnership may be split, a worker can be fired.

Yet, anger is part of us. We, humans, have a lot of emotions in our body and we have to deal with it. Just make sure our emotion is always in check and practice to control our anger. Ahh.. practice makes perfect.
