Not Quite Anger Just Yet
Annoyance is not anger but a precursor to anger. Before
anger erupts we are often irritated or annoyed.
Annoyance is mostly a silent state in which anger brews in. An
annoyed person can usually be spotted because annoyance can easily be seen on
one’s face.
The words and actions of annoyance are not as dramatic or
intense as anger. They are also not as definite or decisive and irrational.
The main action of annoyance is to reject or to avoid or to
block.
Annoyance Superficial
What annoys us is usually something that does not bother us
too deeply. When something bothers us deeply the usual response is emotional
pain and anger. Annoyance dwells on the plane of the physical senses and their
connection to the intellect. It does not concern moral issues or deep psychological
issues, this is left to other egos to deal with.
Shares the Patterns of Anger
Annoyance interesting enough follows many of the patterns of
anger. There is desire behind it, there is intolerance behind it and there is
impatience behind it.
In general, there is the sense of inconvenience behind annoyance.
There is also a mental pattern behind annoyance where we think that our pattern
is superior to what is happening or to what another person is proposing.
A Downward Spiral
It is very good that one knows about this downward spiral
transformation process. So to avoid it like hell!
Annoyance turns into Anger and anger turns into Hatred and hatred
turns into Violence.
Sometimes the transformation into hatred and violence can be
simultaneous or occur in rapid succession.
End (1453).
