Hadis di atas telah terbukti secara ilmiah. Pada penelitian Bushman (2002), Hanya duduk diam tanpa melakukan apapun terbukti lebih efektif untuk menurunkan kemarahan dan perilaku agresif daripada melampiaskan kemarahan. Sedangkan penelitian lain menunjukkan bahwa seseorang akan lebih mudah marah ketika berposisi berdiri, karena posisi tersebut merupakan posisi ideal untuk menyerang (Kalat, 2015).
Demikianlah paparan bahaya dari marah bagi tubuh (fisik) dan pikiran (mental). Setelah membaca artikel ini, masihkah kamu berani melampiaskan kemarahan? Menurutmu, lebih baik melampiaskan kemarahan atau memendam kemarahan?
