An angry man impacts much more than just himself! His angry disposition brings an impacting atmosphere all around him! His friends, family and by-standers feel the impact as well. His anger brings a threatening aspect to the atmosphere as well! Anger is draining too! It zaps us all of our natural strength and resolve to the point of affecting our mental thought-process! When we are angry, we make pointed evaluations about what has happened in a certain situation! We often blame others for our situations rather than putting aside the circumstance and going on about our more pleasant business.
The answers we come up with when angry often are strongly biased! It many times shapes our thoughts about others. The way we see it from our point of view, instead of the actual way it may be,
we blame and take things personal! When we personalize a situation, such as road rage, we often end up appearing threatening and could end up causing much more damage than anticipated! We become threatened and react as the victim!
Assumptions get us all into major trouble most of the time! Instead of looking at the circumstance as
being just an accident as we ought to do. There is way too much anger, rage and blaming going on in this world today. From the centuries-long mid-east scuffles and hatred to the present-day sibling rivalries which can split a family apart. The point here is that when we form opinions about others we often do so in error!
Another situation which can come is that we end up criticizing ourselves over an incident, perhaps a repeated habit or situation....."why did I do such as a stupid thing like that". "whats wrong with me"?
And that can lead to depression which lies deep within us! Not a good thing! Anger is associated with feelings of 'certainty', according to research! If we feel certain about something, it usually comes to pass!
For a certainty, anger is a disabling emotion, not a strength or a right motive for any situation! So lets begin today, right now, to forgive and let go of falsely-placed blames.
