No Joke--anger or rage?

Freud declared in his book Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious that laughter is a "discharge of psychical energy." Everyone loves a "good" joke because we can learn a lot while laughing. As the writer George Bernard Shaw said, "When a thing is funny, search it for a hidden truth."
However no one likes to be the "butt" of a joke. Jokes that demeans, demoralizes or belittles are more often than not a form that rage takes. Anytime you have to add at the end of a joke that "it is just a joke" it probably isn't a joke. The one telling it usually has to add, "I was just kidding."

There are 17 more things many/most people "do" when they think they are expressing their anger. Tomorrow I will look at two of the big ones. The other fifteen can be found in my book The Anger Solution. Thanks for your support.

I'm Back with More Info on Anger

Anger expressed appropriately equals energy, intimacy and peace of mind. However, the key word is "appropriately." Most people have never seen, heard or spoken anger appropriately. That is what my books The Anger Solution, The Missing Peace and Facing the Fire:Experiencing and Expressing Anger Appropriately and this daily blog is all about and much more. I hope you will join me with your questions, comments, concerns and experiences with this very misunderstood emotion.

Currently on my blog I have 51 lessons about Anger work, anger management and much more.
