For me, "gratitude" is an important part of happiness... I watch people around me get angry and they are so often obsessing over "flies in the ointment;" focusing on tiny things they perceive to be wrong with an otherwise beautiful picture.
On a larger scale, anger can be a great catalyst for change... I tend to be very calm and even tempered, so when I get angry about something, I also know that I need to look at what it is that needs changing in my surroundings.
I have learned to stay calm. When I was young in my teens and in early adulthood I was really an ass. That saying, "I wear my feelings on my sleeve" was me. Thank goodness self improvement is a real thing.
true sir.. i think our emotion when we are younger eats us and became the most unwanted person that we thought we are.. people became angry on everything even a little thing but people change.. and this emotion also helps us to grow and became a person that we are now dealing in our emotions/angry is the best improvement we can be.
A most excellent subject and article, as always, thank you!
When anger hits the shores of my being, I always look beyond the trail of destruction it leaves and search for its source. Finding the roots are always, ALWAYS, a very power source of healing for me and, most often, for others. Patience being the "Mother of All Virtues" feeds all...
Thanks again for underlining such a critical and important understanding. Namaste :)
Anger can be contagious, but thankfully happiness can be too. What sort of virus do you want to be?
Good post. When I get angry, I say to myself :"Life is beautiful and amazing!" and everything goes))
We all live moment to moment, and each one of them counts. Happiness is just decision away, always better to choose it over anger. Good post man!
staying calm in the middle of your emotions is a good decision.. Being angry can make a person go wild.. the best thing to do is to stay calm take a deep breath and set aside your emotion because you will miss the happiness in every second, minute and hour of it.
Good advice, but sometimes it is so hard to do, there are situations when it is impossible otherwise.
What a wonderful Piece of Wisdom :D
true what you say @hilarski be patient and strive for the best more better than angry
Well, I believe that it's not bad to be angry. As for me, I let it out. I will either eat comfort food or throw and break something. Maybe, I will drink or cry as hard as I can. I will tell others if I'm not okay. And once I did let it all out, I know I can be happy again. I must say, it's worse to contain your anger. A man who never gets angry, who never cries is a very, very scary. Great post @hilarski! 😊
My anger doesn't manifest to such a degree, but rather it manifests as many forms of frustration. The larger sense of frustration centers largely around my depression and anxiety. I've yet to find out the causes; whether chemically deficient or psychosomatic, but I know that they cause me to act out in ways that I don't want to. Being unable to control how and when to feel such extremes makes a person feel pretty uncertain often.
Hi Randy, great to meet you here again. I just joined today as @detlev and you may know me as (e)DET from empire ave.
Nope, no children @Lasseehlers someday maybe. My parents divorced when I was very young. Sorry for your pain.
