1.5 Anger

1.5 Anger

Anger is simply the process of trying to hold everything still. In the lower band of anger, the person will look away from you, deliberately. At this tone level, we have a shutting off of other persons’ conversation, a complete refusal to listen and efforts to destroy incoming conversation. The conversation which is given forth by an individual at this level is forthrightly destructive and is given without any thought of the possible retaliation which may result from this destructiveness. Conversation on this level could hardly be called conversation (the prefix con- meaning “with” or “together”), as it is a forward motion toward destruction and a refusal to accept anything which might prevent that destruction.
