I want to clarify what I meant by "good" and "bad" anger in yesterday's post. Because anger is an emotion, in and of itself it is not either good or bad. It simply is. What we do with that emotion, how we act on it, is what can be characterized as good or bad, or more correctly, appropriate or inappropriate. As we mature, we also learn that there are some situations in which we should become angry, and others in which we should not allow that emotion to overtake us. Those latter times are when we choose thoughts or actions that deflect or redirect it.

In light of this clarification then, was Moses' anger appropriate or inappropriate? How did he handle himself while he was angry?
