The President of the College of Counseling & Psychology Rev. Prof. Samuel Dornyo has asserted that every normal human being should be capable of getting angry.
According to him, any human who does not get angry is not normal and should get checked.
In an interview with Rev Nyansa Boakwa on Happy 98.9 FM’s NsemPii he said, “God has given you that trait to get angry at something you are unhappy about and it is also one of the ways to stop unpleasant situations around you”.
He however emphasized that what you do and how you handle the situation when you are angry is what matters.
Rev. Samuel also disclosed that anger is an attribute that should be learned.
Throwing more light on this statement he said, “You should have a certain and be able to contain some level of maturity, information and knowledge to prevent you from misbehaving when angry”.
Citing an example he said, “This is why you do not dance with a cutlass because, once you get angry, you can hurt people around you in the process and at the end of the day you will not get the results you want”.
Asked to advise an angry person he said, Do something that will not hurt you or anyone else when you are angry”.
