The truth is, everyone has a point which is recognized as their threshold, which they can tolerate something with being cracked and anything beyond that point may unleash the beast in them. However, the tolerance threshold varies from individuals to individual but it does not take away the fact that there is a flip side in everyone which you will not want to be unleashed. Now let us consider how to keep the anger beast locked and manage it well.
First of all, you have to realize that offences is sure to come as long as you relate and interact with people: from the home, office, to the road etc. You do not have choice on stopping offences from coming because it is inevitable. The only thing you will have choice of is how you welcome or react to the offence. When you understand that your reaction to offence is your choice, then you understand that you are fully responsible for your choice.
You have to also understand how anger manifests. Some people, when angered, will start to rain "bullets" from their mouth. When you realize that your mouth is your greatest weakness when you are angry, you will learn to think well and be cautious when you speak.
Many people have attracted troubles to their lives simply because they allowed their mouth to move faster than their brain. If only you will be able to put your brain before your mouth, you will discover that there are some words that may not be worth speaking. That you have poetic licence or good grammatical diction and acumen does not mean you have to speak whatsoever and however you want.
Each time you take a little break before you act in anger, you will realize that the action may not be worth it. Another thing to do is to stay clear of things that are prone to make you angry. If you notice that going to a particular place, moving with a particular people, seeing a particular thing will make you angry and unleash the beast within you, it will be in your best interest to avoid such things.
There are things that may trigger your anger and if you continue around such things, you may exceed your threshold and reach your breaking point. A friend of mine that was into martial art once told me that "the best form of engagement is to avoid all engagements". Similarly, it is wise to avoid things that attack your emotional health and cause you get angry.
Anger, in some cases, may be needful, at least to survive. However, it will be wrong to be brought under the captivity of anger or to let it control you. If your anger finds a way to control you, then you will begin to live in the mercy of your anger.
