Spiritual Thinking is the answer to superior anger control.
James 1:19-20
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry,
because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.
Ecclesiastes 7:9
Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools.
Proverbs 15:1
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
What is anger? It is an abnormal quality exhibited by someone who is driven by his human ego to say things or commit an act that a normal reasonable person will not indulge in. As we had discussed in a previous post on reality ( truth ) and unreality ( illusion )

any abnormal quality is manifested by a non-spiritual human mind-driven state and has no reality to it. It is a temporary manifestation of one’s wrong belief When the person calms down. He returns to his normal state. The danger in this temporary state is that it may harm someone either through verbal insult or physical action. The impact of anger in several situations is covered in several articles. Some are produced below:
The effect on the immediate family is covered in this article:

“Anger may contribute to the development of a host of unhealthy patterns in relationships. If allowed to continue unchecked, angry outbursts and threatening behaviors tend to escalate. In relationships where calm, open dialogue is overshadowed by rage-filled words and deeds, loving bonds among family members may be camouflaged by heavy layers of resentment.”
The effect on the workplace is discussed in the article below:

“The Cost of Anger in the Workplace”
“Do you work with angry people? Do you know why they are angry? Do you know how to deal with them?
The workplace is an environment likely to provoke feelings of anger and the consequences of poorly manages anger in the workplace can range from increased turnover and reduced productivity to property damage and physical injury or worse. At the same time, if managed effectively, anger can be a positive and productive emotion producing valuable data, as well as considerable motivation.”

“The Value of Anger: 16 Reasons It’s Good to Get Angry
Anger is not just an aggressive reaction. It often provides us with information that allows us to better engage with the world around us (as well as ourselves). If we see anger as something that makes us more informed, we can adapt our response accordingly to better our position. To this end, the following is a list of benefits anger can provide when the appropriate level of the emotion is attained.”
While in some instances anger may be positive. One such example is when a baseball player misses a home run by a few feet. A college student was angry at himself for not acing an exam. These are positive emotions and help in improvement. In the vast majority of cases, anger is a negative quality.
Anger never contributes anything positive to anyone and is only detrimental. If the other person is thinking spiritually, he can assess the situation and respond kindly which may help the situation and calm things down. If the other person also reacts in anger, then there may a complicated situation. That is the reason it is very important to control anger.
If one were practicing spiritual thinking continuingly, then he will neither be angry nor will he provoke anyone to be angry. That is because, the Divine Mind, which is one Infinite Mind is also present in the other person and the communications will be controlled by the Divine Mind and hence there may be disagreements but no animosity. Hostility and animosity are the immediate effects of anger on people who are controlled by the human ego and the human mind. That is the reason Spiritual Thinking is the answer to superior anger control.
