Reading from a page about anger from Dr. Ben Lerner, arises some serious physical risks and dangers linked to anger. Health issues and complications, that not even I was aware of.
There is a link between anger and heart disease. Its no wonder when blood pressure surges and your body and heart are working harder. God made our bodies perfectly, He crafted us so well, that the negative implications of life are indeed associated with our physical bodies. The term in the bible is sin, and its evidently clear that the world and this life thrives off of that.
Human relations expose this theory, because our relationships with other people, some times expose this initial need to evoke anger instead of friendliness. Either way, anger is an emotion and a problem that doesn’t only affect men it also affects woman too.
Something I’ve seen today that I never experienced much before in life is the viciousness and hate that can come from a female. Anger doesn’t discriminate.
Later in the article they do have a theory that posits the secretion of stress hormones (epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine) when someone is angry can damage the layer of thin, flattened cells that line the arteries and can accelerate the development of atherosclerosis, the condition which is ultimately responsible for most heart attacks. Excess amounts of stress can also affect the rhythm of the heart and cause blockages in the veins.
The article later illustrates and shows that food may not be have as much of an affect as does what is eating us, which eludes to the idea of anger.
Proverbs 17:22 says that, “a happy heart is like good medicine, but a broken spirit drains your strength”.
In other words you cannot separate your wellness from your emotions. Every feeling you have affects some part of your body, and ultimately your growth and maturing. This is why a majority of rappers and people are, are exclaiming “f your feelings”.
The derailment of popular culture and anger and wellness is that they are not interested in your benefit or your well being one bit. Like hyenas they prey on the weak and vulnerable and want to exploit and like predators destroy you. This world is vicious and rotten to the bone. Their home is hell, and like satan they are not content until death happens.
This is where the wisdom of the bible, isn’t just optional its mandatory. If you clamor that God is not speaking, than you are not reading the book. I wrote this off myself as I was younger, I couldn’t accept the fact that the walk and the road of the believer is not idle hands and feet. It is indeed work, not unlike our muscles and mind.
“do not worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks. And Gods peace which is so great we cannot understand it, will keep your heart hearts and minds in Christ jesus” Philippians 4:6-7
The peace of God can protect you mentally and physically.
For those of you who are trapped in unsettling and hostile environments I am sorry. I know that feels like, and I know when escape feels like no options are available. Every person and every situation is different. The fact of the matter is, you don’t want to trust these words, these are my own. You need to separate your mind from this physical distraction and direct them to God, and let the pages of the bible motivate and inspire you.
Another point of reference and once again thanks to the article by Dr. Ben Lerner is that in this life there are several volatile and hostile situations, your need and necessity is to not be influenced from them, but instead take yourself away from that. This is the difficulty of life, because like the barking dog, if you start barking back, then it can become a whole room of barking dogs and we all know where this situation is heading.
