I thought it was terrible too. The author didn't state their assumptions and didn't address the social norms surrounding anger. Anger is, at least where I live, not a socially acceptable emotion to express. This belief is the core of the article, and I imagine that a lot of folks reading this are thinking, "That's right it's not," "There's always a reason not to be angry," &c. However, anger is also a completely valid emotion - we've all experienced anger. My point is that we have no socially acceptable outlets for anger. We have to mask, sublimate, redirect, suppress, or simply not be angry for basically our entire lives. This article is a product of that belief. I run a sporadic event with a group of friends called "Scream at the Moon Night". On a full moon we go out to an open field and I run through a list of prompts that all ask for a screaming response. We scream out all that pent up anger and once we're done we take a seat and just talk. It's cathartic. I've had moms take their kids and scream about bullies. People have screamed about work, ex's, life struggles, everything. It's great, but the take away is that this is so outside the social norms that I wouldn't blame you if you thought it was weird. There isn't space to do this socially, I had to make it.
