It seems many people are angry. It’s apparent when you’re in a car and see aggressive driver. They are driving angry so they’re likely living angry. The nightly news is filled with angry people creating havoc in the world. I realize that’s what we all expect to see on the news channels, but it’s disturbing.
Anger is like a cancer that will seep into every part of your life until you are living angry without realizing it. It will take happiness and turn it into pain for you and others. Anger is an emotion we all have and emotions are necessary, but we need to keep them in control. Children are taught lessons about how and why to tame emotions, but we still have bullying in the schools. It’s the parents job to teach their kids to control their emotions. Don’t expect teachers to do all the heavy lifting. Their ability to discipline students has been handcuffed.
Emotions reside on the surface easily triggered to explode. Anger is the one most noticeable. It’s easy to spot, just look at the way people treat each other. As adults we have no one monitoring our actions. Well, no one we trust. Our children learn by watching our actions. Angry parents will produce an angry child.
We can control and direct our emotions, so what’s causing people to choose anger? Look around, there’s a lot of disturbing stuff going on in the world, so that could effect your emotions, But you are responsible for your behavior, despite outside influencers. I believe there are more pleasant people than angry people, but they don’t get the headlines. It’s up to you, but choosing anger will not make your life better. Some people will say it’s not their fault because someone else made them angry. All that’s really saying is others control your emotions. Don’t give that power to someone else. Choosing anger is rarely the right choice. “Just Saying . . .”
