Some men are really angry within

I was driving my co - workers home tonight after work, and it was really late around 11:20 P.M. We stop by the gas station and filling up the gas for my car. While I was pumping the gas, I saw this black man riding on the wheelchair rolling on the side walk. He was angrily shouting on every car passing by, and he was mumbling something loudly at the silent street. He is definitely injured, and I guess that he is unable to work too. His clothing is tacky, and without taking good care of himself too. I guess some injured people lost hope in life, or his family left him due to many reasons. This stranger became angry toward everything he saw. Finally, he saw our car was pumping the gas, and he moving toward us, and shouting at us loudly. We simply hurriedly finish our business, and leave the scene. I felt sorry for people like him.

This is a sick sad world filled with sick sad people. I used to ride a bus on a route through a pretty rough area. Every day the bus was packed with people like this. They weren't always angry, some were lonely. Talking to total strangers about anything they could think of. Some were loud and angry, always looking for someone to make a mistake so they could yell about it. Others were just clearly burnt out, unkempt, staring slack jawed at the floor of the bus, vacant. It is just a hard life. Some people don't make it and don't have the nerve to kill themselves. So they just endure their own personal living hell. You can try to help them but many of them have problems that are just too powerful for the average person to commit to fixing. You just have to try to learn a lesson from them and try to make something out of their failure by giving it a purpose. To set an example for the people who still have a chance in this world.

Understood, and I knew a lot of people fill with sadness all over their lives. I don't blame them, and I just felt sorry for them at the moment. I saw this once in while, usually during night time. But, pretty much, I will see it at the downtown area.

I really do feel sorry for such people because no one seems to care nor listen to them that is why they yell at everyone they see. What is the government doing about these people? It is so sad that some people can be that unfortunate. We hope there will be more equality in this world.

Hi. kingparker. I don't see what this man is mad at. You all did not do anything to him at all. I believe that he is miserable and just mad at the entire world. He has take his frustrations out on others and that is not fair at all. We all may not know what he had to go through while being in his disablement. But that still is not right that he acts so mean and hateful to you all. It is not fair that he has to shout at you all for nothing.

If he is angry then he hasn't given up. Maybe when he gets tired and calms down, he can can start to THINK his way out of his problems. An answer will come.

I think this is just human nature. Everything just hits us at once and some us just have their breaking point where they just lose it. I mean, they really just lose it. They start yelling at everything and finding fault and everything that see makes them angry. It is rather terrifying and quite absurd at the same time. There are just times where people can be quite unpleasant to be around. There are some people I have encountered that alternate between not caring about what is happening to blowing up at everything. It is a rather horrifying situation to deal with to say the least. You kind of wonder what happened to these people to put them in such a state. If it can happen to this person, it could happen to anyone to say the very least. Just some people are rendered absolutely basket cases for whatever reason.

it seems some people have very good reason to be angry ... while perhaps very few will not know of anything to be angry about ... Perhaps some have felt certain objectionable actions of others in the past that has caused their anger ... perhaps somehow, the anger erupts when things get tough or triggers are perceived ... But the again it seems given time, all people afflicted by "anger eruptions" will have to remember that: "we are all wounded" in some way ... ... that (metaphor) "anger is the acid that destroys its own container" ... that being kind and forgiving to those who did us wrong is not just an admirable virtue, but also the only way to free our selves from the bondage of anger ... What do you think ?

Yes I encountered this kind of person too. This person status of anger has some other reason. There are reasons behind it. In fact, we must be patient enough to deal with this kind of person. We must understand how this person like to be. Sometimes when I'm not in mood, I shout him in return and after that incident I sorry for myself and that person for doing it.

Even woman have issues and baggage that even minor irritations causes anger. A person has his or her own personal demons to deal with. I pity the people that they encounter that may spark the anger even without cause. When it causes injury to others the person needs therapy. An anger management one at that. It helps when he can vent out his frustration but not in an aggressive manner.
