Is Anger Contagious ?

Anger is taken casually so many times. If something goes wrong one gets angry, this situation is accepted as normal phenomenon. Sometimes anger is also termed as logical, and reasonable too. What exactly is this anger? Emotion? Expression? Reaction? Yes it is one and/or all but it is never reasonable or logical. If one person is in state of anger, then the other persons who are in empathetic or sympathetic state also feels this anger, and those who are prey/target  to this anger too react with anger. This triggering of chain reaction can only be stopped by  love and peace. Forgiving is also beneficial. 

Expression of anger is mostly contagious as seen in daily scenes, if in office boss yells at subordinate, then this angry subordinate, expresses his anger sooner or later. If anger is repressed then also aura of such angry person leads to triggering the anxiety in other person, who are in vicinity. Many a times it's seen that if mother is with repression of anger then her child is representing cranky nature or irritability. New born's, toddlers are frequently seen prone to anger crying if parents are angry and fighting. It seems that mirror neurons in our brain play this role. 

In a mob, this anger spreads like wild fire. For some negligible reason, mass anger hysteria has shown destructive and inhuman reactions. Anger is as volatile as fuel gas, it's contagious too. To be safe from these things, one has to become strong immunity wise. Peace and Love is the key to enhance this immunity. If I sense, anger is being invoked in me, then immediately I should balance myself and pacify my own mind. 

Yes, it can be practised. If I see someone angry then either I should stay away till the wave is over or I must have my own shield of self peacefulness. Indian Philosophy insists on one very important thing, anger must be controlled and then cease fire is must, since anger does  real harm to the person who is angry and less harm to whom anger is expressed. Hyper acidity, insomnia, high BP, migraine, ulcers, cancer are few known side effects of chronic anger syndrome. Many names are yet to be nominated. Be aware and take good care of yourself , Please!
