Anger is healthy when it is done in the right way. Ephesians 4:26 says: Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath. Healthy anger happens only when it is expressed with the right person, at the right time, and for the right purpose. Anger is not safe if it's done in an unhealthy way. Getting upset with someone that pulls out in front of you could cause a wreck. Yelling at someone that screams at you could cause a fighting match. The Bible does not say 'not to get angry' it says not to sin, which means: "A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger." Proverbs 15:1. Therefore, getting angry might be a safety valve, but it needs to be done in a safe manner.
Now, back to the word... safety... and the definition being... freedom from harm. If you are playing or working in a 'safe' way, then everything will turn out fine. But, if you are going through life in an 'unsafe' manner, then... there will be consequences to pay.
Words, although important are not nearly as important as the act of love and kindness. Things done, speak louder, and last much longer. - Dwayne Potteiger
