To my dear followers and acquaintances. My fellow people.
Today has been an especially tiring day of work, and for the first half of it I felt angry for a number of reasons. But I didn't want to feel angry. I found the time to take deep breaths, meditate, and ease myself down a good degree. The reason being for this effort is that anger is such an ugly, worthless emotion if kept bottled up. It's also very destructive when vented under untimely, unbefitting circumstances, like in the company of strangers or around people you best don't want to yell at.
There's nothing quite as useless as idle rage: the anger you keep to yourself or waste on petty things in your immediate vicinity. At best it provides passing entertainment in the form of rants, criticisms and yelling matches; at worst it's self-destructive, time-consuming and harms others without justification. Anger should inspire someone to speak out against injustice, to write essays and stories with passion, to help stoke the flame of human spirit. But never to immolate it. There needs to be direction with one's anger so that it doesn't become senseless wrath. Anger and indignation have helped bring about great, beneficial changes to our society. If you're angry and have nowhere beneficial to impart it, then let it dissipate, cool off. It's dead weight on the body and soul at that point.
Anger can be useful. But far too often, without proper direction and discretion, it usually leads to ruination.
Or you could have fun with it and punch a Kamen Rider. :B
Very true, for years and even now that flame of anger was ignited in me, angry at others who "had it better," angry at myself for "not being better," angry at even my parents for "not being better people."
It all circled around this feelings of others or myself achieving something more than any human can achieve on their own and then I got into MLP and the virutes surrounding it by the Main Six and it helped for a bit, wasn't enough fortunately and eventually, you probably know where this is leading from my previous posts, I came to Christianity, and that pressure I felt in my soul went away bit by bit, not the instant relief I thought I felt with MLP but something concrete.
