Anger

God gets angry, and so did Jesus when he walked the earth.

Anger is not inherently evil nor bad in and of itself.

Just as love is not necessarily always pure without question. Love corrupted is lust and possessiveness, and things not to be loved are loved too. So as love is corruptible and corrupted, so is anger.

There is not a word to distinguish the two kinds of anger, perhaps only righteous and unrighteous anger.

Anger, righteous anger, is the appropriate response to injustice and unrighteousness. It is the sense of violation of the natural good, the inherent integrity of things, and the marring of beauty.

It is the reaction to an apparently senseless and meaningless tragedy, something which is totally avoidable and unnecessary. It is what we feel in our gut when we see the weak and poor discriminated, abused, and robbed. It is the natural and complete response to evil.

Unrighteous anger is the abuse and use of anger for other than a reaction to evil, and of course evil uses anger against good itself, attacking good as if it is evil.
