Anger Anonymous: and it came to pass...

Sometimes, things do not go the way we had intended or even occur in the most optimistic of ways, still there is no reason for me to get too worked up or even start throwing a tantrum. There are things we learn through the hard way, painful as it is...i must remember. This is so that i would not repeat the same mistake twice. I really hope to be a better man. And pain should never be an excuse for me to start learning. Its now i start to buckle up, before its too late.

Firstly, being angry or explicitly showing my displeasure will not necessarily get me what i want. Heck, it might even backfire (in fact, it backfired). Not always in a negative way (really, i cannot think about any thing positive 'bout it), but anger really is not and should not be justifiable in any sense. Hence, do not hold any expectation that anger is gonna solve anything, it might just fuel the start of an even larger crisis (really, we shan't go into that) . Simply uncalled for, anger only seeks to jeopardise any chance of a happy compromise. It breaks.

Secondly, anger is a sin. This I learn earlier on in life (in Sunday school). True to that, i had experienced that through countless times; anger brings with it without much efficacy in salvaging things. It only seeks a certain destruction. There, really is no good outcome when anger is involved. Even though there are things that might be really at odds with me, still anger is not always warranted. This is a challenge for me. This is not to say i have no right to be angry, but really its good to take up the gauntlet and step back to ponder all avenues before anger becomes a factor. Sometimes, things are not as bad as they seem. Compromise, could be the key to happier times. And i guess, i would just have to keep my anger in check. It really becomes disgustingly unsightly when anger rears its ugly head. It gets messy. Communicating effectively surely is the way out, but not always the 'be all end all' of things.

Henceforth, before an angry word is expressed or one's voice is raised to another higher decibel, pause to think about how anger could bring about a calamitous outcome. In my case (still pending), really i hope the aftershock will not be too serious an outcome. Please forgive me for my iniquities; i.e, anger (read: a certain character flaw). Time and again, i must have upset you...i just hope i will be a better (less angry) man after all that have come to pass. Sorry,...sometimes may be the hardest word, but its a strong word and should only be uttered responsibly(you must truly mean it). In any case, i am truly sorry for letting my ways get the better of me.

Cheers to happier times ahead....
