It is my opinion that we should never hold resentment, neither should we get mad when things go wrong. Lets remember that others have as much right to their opinions as we do, but there is a level from which we all may work together for good. Do you agree?

I remember I used to count up to three to control my anger and it was okay so far that no one would come after this three counting to make me angry again, But now with meditation everything is back to normal, I pay little attention to those who try to make me loose temper.

Hi med: I think that meditating is a good technique to control our anger. Usually when I'm about to lose my nerves, I try to think twice before telling what I'm thinking, I try to relax, count 1 to 10 etc. and it sometimes works for me. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.
ALVARO.

I have to admit that I get upset when I see injustice and corruption. I think that sometimes diplomacy does not work and we need to demand and confront the liars and the ignorant. I still encounter people who think that communism is a wonderful thing.

Hi POse: In some cases is very difficult to control our feelings but personally I try hard to not get angry too easy and too quick because I know myself and I understand that when I get angry I can hurt someone feelings, I can do things that are not rationally or I can overreact. It's better to calm down when you feel that someone wants to fight with you. Thanks for asking me this question. Have a nice day.

I have to admit I do, although I do tend to bottle a lot of it up, more like suppression in a way, you see I live with someone that I am unable to release my true feelings about so the anger becomes suppressed, I do go to the gym to help me release it but my fuse has got shorter and shorter the older I have become, which is unusual I suspect as most people get calmer when they get older and more set in their ways. Up until I met my ex I never displayed anger and kept it well under control, my ex released the anger demons in me and turned me into someone who lost his temper quick and got angry, since then I find that I do get angry quickly. However one thing I find unusual is that if I get behind the wheel of a car it actually calms me down, weird when most people this has the opposite affect. Water also has a calming affect on me. So does being on my own away from people, but sadly in life that isn't always possible. We need a positive outlet to release our anger and in our stressful lives and the way the world is that is not always easy, suppressing and bottling up anger can cause us a lot of problems internally, hence stress and illnesses which are more common place sadly.

Hi wolfie, Thank you for commenting and I agree that bottling up anger can cause a lot of trouble.You must find a way of releasing it and going to the gym should certainly help.It's interesting that getting behind the wheel of a car has a calming effect on you. I haven't heard of water having that effect either but since it does by all means take advantage of it. I think it's true that most people mellow out when they get older, but it isn't true for everyone, so you are not alone. Maybe it isn't being on your own that that you need but being around positive people. Blessings.

I agree with you when you say everyone has therir right to their own opinion, we all look at things in a different way. Sometimes after hearing their opinion and listening to what they have to say and why they think that way, they have changed my mind. But then you got some that it doesn't take much to see they are plain out stupid, in the way they think. I don't think that you could get them anywhere near a level of working with the rest of us. But in general, yes I would say that in most cases there could be found a point where we all think a bit alike for the common goodd. Most people are on that track and will bend a bit to make things level

Getting angry is the result of fear. Anger sucks your positive energy out and replaces it with the negative. This will leave you empty and unhappy for some time. What could make you do this to yourself. Short of fear for your life and well being or that of your family. I find angry people ofen and when ever I do I try to discharge some of that anger for them by simple kindness. A smile and a
question or two that shows you truly care will help. You must find it within yourself to truly care the trick is for just that short time your are involved with this person give them your undivided attention and surprise you will find that you do truly care for just that short time of contact. Blessings

Hi savypat, Thank you for sharing and there is great wisdom in what you say. I feel that you are right in saying that anger is the result of fear. I know that if I become angry for just a few minutes, I feel drained after, and it can ruin an entire day if I let it. I don't have a lot of anger in me most of the time and I'm very thankful for that. You are so right about kindness and letting someone know that you truly care. Everyone is fighting some kind of battle. Blessings.

I totally agree...and I am one not to get angry very often. It actually takes a lot to get me angry. My daughter and my husband are completely opposite. The slightest thing puts them on edge and than it takes nothing to get them to yelling and screaming. They have been very hard to live with.
