Anger usually means you are running on autopilot. Auto pilot is a mechanical system used to guide an aircraft without assistance from a human being. When you are angry, instead of controlling your conscious thoughts and actions yourself, you are allowing your subconscious habits of beliefs and perceptions (understanding) to control them. The mental action of creating anger itself becomes a habit. It also displays a mental and emotional laziness, and when it happens you have less intelligence than a robot. It's impossible to think clearly and make accurate decisions when you are angry.
In order to free your self from the anger habit you will need to take three important steps:
1. understand why anger is extremely unhealthy.
2. accept responsibility for your anger, in whatever form it takes, at all times and in all situations.
3. be prepared to expose, challenge and change the beliefs and perceptions you hold, which are the cause of your anger and creating your emotional pain.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt. Abu

What a great thought. The angry person like me needs to ponder over it again and again. It is said that anger is nothing else but madness, but it happens. It needs to be stopped, as it aggravates the other person also.
