I prided myself on always taking a pause when my patience was always put to the test. It has not been like this. I used to say what came to my mind especially when I was provoked.
It has been a lesson for me when I saw my father consumed with anger. He said things that really hurt. Even if he made amends he has a reputation that he was frightening and unreasonable to cross with. Although he made amends to those he crossed with, those people remembered the pain of his words he inflicted.
Have you ever been provoked to the point that you want to inflict physical pain on the other person? There will always be times in our life that someone will test our patience. What do you do?
Why do I talk about anger? It was because I almost lost my cool once. I was on the verge of it. My head swelled literally from being angry. A friend committed a wrongdoing against me. What was annoying was that she’s hiding. She broke my trust and now she left a big Cavity in our friendship.
Remember these:
Thoughts to ponder:
Don’t be consumed by anger
It’ll only make you an ogre
Don’t make it longer
It’ll not make you younger
Anger can make you destructive
And not productive
Your heart will become obstructive
Coz it made you affective
Don’t let anger slowly gnaws
Be sure to take a pause
Let your anger thaws
Or else your health may be at straws

I have been pushed to the wall many a times, and I don’t know about the physical pain but I wanted to inflict some kind of pain to the oppressor then, but now, when I think about it, I understand that it was not the oppressor who was having a say in that picture but my weakness, my weakness to smile.
I think I can handle anger with smile most of time than reacting negatively, and I have seen it work.
Lovely post, you’ve chosen a great topic!!! And as always great writing, Winnie!😊

Thank for sharing your thoughts! It’s so hard dealing with anger right? But then we must always think of the consequence. Thank you Vikash! That meant a lot coming from a great writer like you 😊

Yes, but once you start handling it, it starts to come to you naturally.
And I am no great writer, you’re just too kind… Thanks a lot…!!!😊

Beautiful post, Winnie and so relevant once again ♥️ Ah! This has to be one of the most horrible bad habit that I suffer from although started happening recently but yet everything you wrote there, yeah that’s the outcome of an anger outburst when you let it take control, ruining possibilities and your reputation. I’m working on that. Thank you for this post.

I think this is truly awesome. You have talent, Winnie. I don’t get angry easily but when I’m pissed off, the world can crumble.

Thank you Kally! Maybe it comes with my aging gracefully (?). As you age you will learn to control it. I used to be like that when pissed off. It only drains me whenever I’m like that so I think of good things and food 😂 to avoid it.

Feel anger. Let it pass through you, but don’t react to it. Your body is more than a mind. It is a soul. Let your soul observe the anger, not absorb it.
