fester inside or releasing it with a vengeance.

feelings sensibly.

upset, talk it out. Initially this must
be with yourself, since you’re probably the only one there when anger
strikes.

you angry, or happy or sad. You are the only one who has the power to form
an emotion within yourself.

it to build up within them like steam in a pressure cooker.

three car accidents, it’s essential that we manage our anger as effectively as
we manage our time.
