Day 26 - Anger

 

Today's topic, anger, was a bit strange for me.

 

Ever since I was a child, I've been told how reasonable, and calm, and diplomatic I am.....  in essence, not reacting to whatever situation, and looking for ways to "get the outcome/result".

 

Obviously, this hasn't been flawless -- especially towards family, as the reading points out -- but it was really difficult for me to list 5 situations where I reacted negatively.... at least *towards people* !

 

Perhaps not so surprisingly,  2 of my 5 situations involved wanting to punch my laptop (for being slow and/or crashing).... and only one of situations was directed towards something another person did -- and even then, I didn't react, just noticed the anger and let it go.

 

Now what's strange is that I feel that sometimes I SHOULD express the anger, rather than observe/supress it....   I guess this is where the whole "channeling" it through sports / punching bag, etc..  comes in...

Love this....yah! Feel, reel, leap, forget

Enjoyed this thinking and looking and seeing...sent you message re. I believe you are on to something FANTASTIC here...

You can do it, keep going! You can do it, keep going!

well said...and done..

On a different note...as I am reflecting on your thoughts, based on personal experiences....Since childhood I was filtering unreasonable reactions and behaviours of others or of personal stressful situations by responding with  a positive, "reconciliating" and humorous way and spirit, wishing any tension and anger of others to give their place to peace of mind ....and for me to reinforce my feeling of calmness and get the best outcome

 

As I was growing up more, I slowly started realizing that I cannot fight always with a smile and with good intentions any disrespectful spirit or unfair and rude behaviours and reactions of others or personal stressful situations that are out of my control....I cannot "save the world" with its literal meaning and cannot be a different kind of Robin in the Hood, by disappearing anger and provide fairness, once and for all".... although I wish....I know, though, that each of us has the power to contribute and affect in our own way our life and lives of those around us...

 

Geniune smile and calmness I know that supress any form of anger created...how we deal with it is the magic....
