Ever caught this movie? For those who didn't, it's basically about Adam Sandler, playing the not angry guy, learning to be angry through a series of seemingly unfortunate and random events, with Jack Nicholson as the hilarious anger management therapist, Dr. Buddy Rydell. This anger solves anger philosophy ends up with a small twist.

[from trailer]
Dr. Rydell: Temper's the one thing you can't get rid of, by losing it.

Countless videos, self-help books and therapy sessions have been made to address this issue on anger management, and it is little wonder why.

Buddah said: "Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intention of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned."

Confucius in his Analects said: "When anger rises, think of the consequences."

Malcolm X argues that "usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change."

Harriet Lerner in "The Dance of Anger, 1985" said "Anger is a signal, and one worth listening to."

"A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control." ~Proverbs 29:11~

Is anger a necessary evil? If so, what can we do about it? Find out more when you join us at German Centre@3:30pm later today and next Saturday in a series of lectures by Miss Pang, a leading expert on this critical issue.
