Generally, anger is associated with hatred, negativity, pain but most importantly, it is a regularly misinterpreted emotion. Angry individuals are often viewed as violent and vengeful ones who are desperate to release their frustration instead of dealing with their personal confrontations; therefore, they negatively affect their environment with their vibe. Though it is undeniable that anger also encourages people to find a solution, to change a situation or to give voice to their fears. Due to the bad reputation of this emotion, most people feel discouraged from admitting the overwhelming anger they feel in the fear of being stigmatized. Nevertheless, what is anger exactly? Many believe that anger and hatred are interconnected, nonetheless, they carry distinctive meanings. Audre Lorde argues that while hatred’s only aim is to hurt, to destroy, to draw back people from loving each other, in contrast anger is a tool of self-expression and a sign of concern for the self, a community or the future of a society. She notes, “Anger — a passion of displeasure that may be excessive or misplaced but not necessarily harmful. Hatred — an emotional habit or attitude of mind in which aversion is coupled with ill will. Anger, used, does not destroy. Hatred does” (151). Is not anger also a way of coping with a helpless situation, letting others know that our boundaries are being violated and threatened? Is not it a tool of powerful expression of our opinion? Indeed, suppressed anger only results in an excessive one, which slowly destroys the individual inside. To avoid this, it should be normalized to let the anger flow through our veins, embrace the pain because hiding from the problem will eventually only add fuel to the fire. Anger is sometimes necessary to move forward in a situation. Anger is sometimes part of a healing process. Anger is sometimes part of one’s heritage. Anger and love are sometimes inseparable since anger originates from pure love. The latter emotion is based on mutual respect, compassion and concern for the less fortunate individuals. For decades it has also been a driving force for the grassroots civil movements. The politics of love has various purposes: it is an act of resistance
