Controlling Anger
Am happy to be here making and entry into this beautiful contest. The topic actually drew me to this dear community, it's actually a topic I can relate with, so I felt it pretty fine to share my thoughts in line with the topic. I really do hope you enjoy every bit of my entry. Let's get into it guys!
Are you one of those people who gets angry easily?
Am not one of those who gets angry easily, anger is a strong emotional feeling that makes you want to react violently when you're are pissed. Yes it's true that we get pissed off every now and but then the power to control the anger still lies in our hands...whether or not things get so badly at us depend on our mindset and disposition.
I've trained myself not to get mad at just anything, and that's why it's a bit difficult to set my emotion on edge when it comes to anger because I've trained my mind not to react at every little thing. Do not get me wrong, I get angry sometimes but even in my anger I do not over react.
I would say God has really helped me in that area and not just about the training I've subjected myself to. So back to the question, I am not one of those who gets angry easily....but hey! Do not get me angry...lols.
What situations make you lose your cool and get in a bad mood?
That should be wrong accusation...smiles.Okay let me start by reiterating what happened over the last weekend, well it was as a result of a loss in our farm. I was obviously off work during this weekend because I had some personal things to do and somehow I knew I wouldn't be able to show up, because I personally needed rest for myself.
It then happened that during this time I was away we lost two goat kids, one a still born and the other a healthy kid which later died. The person who was suppose to tend for these animals could not really handle the situation well. The long and short was that we lost them all the same.
So when I was to make my report after the whole thing, my boss passed all the blame on me despite knowing the fact that I was off work on these days...like how would I have handled all of these in my absence, I thought within me.
He said so many other things that got me pissed and almost made me lost my cool...but somehow I was able to manage the situation by keeping mute because saying anything would have the whole situation completely heated.
Tell us the last reason that made you angry.
The last reason that got me angry was about my negligence and a bit of irresponsibility. Well am not an irresponsible individual but my actions on this particular day made me look like one so I had to direct the anger to myself, scolding myself seriously.
It happened that I was given a task about two weeks ago to handle, a time frame was also given to me for that task. Yesterday marked the very day I was supposed to deliver on that task given to me. The time given to me was 6pm to show up and carry out the task.
By 5pm I was 80% ready and good to go, just few minutes to my departure to the venue which wasn't far from where I was at that moment, I got an unforseen task to handle quickly at the farm, it took me some minutes to tidy up, before I knew what was up, it was 18 minutes past 6pm already....ooops!
I started making my way down disappointed in myself and hoping the task will still be on ground for me to handle.On getting there, my heart sank, it was already being handled by someone else. I felt really bad and hard on myself, because it was a task that has been given to me 2 weeks before the D-Day. Who would I tell my story about what made me miss it....sighs.... anyways I've learnt.
Do you think getting angry is a bad or negative thing?
A knife in the hand of the wrong person is already a disaster waiting to happen. If a butcher handles a knife, it for the sole purpose of butchery but if it gets into the hands of a killer, you as well know what the killer is going to do with it. Anger is a way of expressing our displeasure about things which is not bad in itself.
It becomes bad when it's not well handled. Some people get angry and go violent ready to harm and destroy whoever or whatever comes their way. I am not in support of this kind of anger because it's destructive and would further lead into more mess. So we all just have to be careful the way we react when we are not cool with something.
Anger is actually on the negative side if am to place it in the category of positive and negative feeling but then the goal of anger should not tend towards destruction. I know it can be difficult to tame it at it peak but it also important that we learn to train our minds to maintain some level of calmness and composure in the face of unpleasant situation.
Anger is a very sensitive emotional state that needs to be handled carefully, an angry man has the tendency of destroying things while in that state. This is why it's important that we build our emotional intelligence and also try as much as possible to give people allowance to offend you. Offences will surely come even from our loved ones, and when it comes as expected, we would react less..
Thanks for your time dear friends, and just before I go, I would love to invite @sur-riti @josepha @rakiya to this contest. I hope they find it super interesting. Thanks for your time.
