Repent and Anger

2 Nephi 28:19

They must be stirred up to repentance, or they must be stirred up to anger

It would seem that the opposite of repentance is anger. I have noticed this in my life far too often.  If I am at fault, I feel like I have two clear choices: repent, or dig my heels in and get angry. Peace and happiness always follow the former, and nothing good ever follows the latter until I reverse course and repent.

Also, if I find myself growing upset, or angry, if I take some time to consider that I may have need of repentance, I almost always find something, and the anger doesn't stay.
