There is a demon/man in our Beautiful Life who is filled with anger and thus torments us
Anger is a primitive emotion.
The angry person suffers from a cognitive deficit. He is unable to conceptualize, to design effective strategies for living. They dedicate all their attention to the immediate and ignore the future consequences of their actions. In other words, their attention and information processing faculties are distorted, skewed in favor of the here and now. Immediate facts and actions are judged more relevant and weighted more heavily than any remote aversive conditions. Anger impairs cognition.
Angry people cannot empathize.
Actually, "counter-empathy" develops in a state of acute anger.
All circumstances related to the source of the anger – are taken as meaning to devalue and belittle the suffering of the angry person.
His anger thus increases the more mitigating circumstances are brought to his attention.
Judgment is altered by anger. Later "provocative" acts are judged to be more serious – just by "virtue" of their chronological position.
The illusion of omnipotence (power) and invulnerability is typical. Acute anger.
An acutely angry person usually reacts to an ACCUMULATION of experiences, all enhancing each other in vicious feedback loops, many of them not directly related to the cause of the specific anger episode.
The angry person may be reacting to stress, agitation, disturbance, drugs, violence or aggression witnessed by him, to social or to national conflict, to elation and even to sexual excitation.
He explodes in rage – because he implodes AND reacts to outside stimuli, simultaneously. Because he is a slave to magical thinking and, therefore, regards himself as omnipotent, omniscient and protected from the consequences of his own acts (immune) .
Finally, acutely angry people perceive anger to have been the result of intentional (or circumstantial) provocation with a hostile purpose (by the target of their anger). Their targets, on the other hand, invariably regard them as incoherent people, acting arbitrarily, in an unjustified and nonsensical manner .
