When anger is an emotional trap

Do you feel angry reading a post? Ask yourself: who benefits from that anger?

Some people and organizations know exactly how to trigger your emotions to influence your judgment. And anger is one of their favorite tools.

⚠️ The pattern is often the same:

1️⃣ A shocking or unjust situation

2️⃣ A clearly designated “villain”

3️⃣ A call to react or share quickly

Result? You go into reactive mode.And stop asking questions.

🧠 Watch out for these red flags:

— The message pushes you to judge before you understand

— The urge to react outweighs the invitation to reflect

— Context is missing or manipulated

Anger can be valid. But if it’s triggered too fast, too strongly, too often… something else might be going on.

💡 A truthful message brings clarity. A manipulative one brings outrage.
