We get angry, pissed, upset, and hurt. That just comes with the territory. In my opinion, anger is one of the easier emotions as it takes little or no effort, but dang can it do a lot of damage. People hurt us. There are just some misguided people out there who get some type of strange joy by upsetting others. I contend they are unhappy and just want to suck others down into their miserable world. There is not one single thing we can do about the actions of others; however, we have everything to do with how we react. We determine how long we stay mad, pissed or angry along with deciding when to release it as it serves no useful purpose in the grand scheme of things.
Feeling angry or hurt makes me physically uncomfortable. I tend to withdraw, turn off the electronic leash, my stomach gets upset, and I spent lots of time in the Bubba Chair. I don’t like the feelings, but at least I know what they are now. Rather than fight it, I let them run their course.
Anger is unavoidable. No matter how much you think you have it controlled or how much you try to shut down your emotions, it will get you sooner or later. Since it is a part of life, learn to live with it. Learn to identify your anger, allow it to happen then strive to move past it. Even with anger, there is some type of takeaway from the event.
