This post is highly relevant to so many of those generation X Y Z kids you see around. I feel like anger, and all emotions corresponding with anger, are often backlashes of all the negative things life has thrown at them. I used to be angry all the time, always losing my temper far faster than I should’ve, over reasons I really shouldn’t have gotten angry over. But that was childhood anger. Simple irritation over not getting what I wanted. However, as I grew, that childish habit faded, to some degree.
Now the anger inside is trapped in a sort of container. Granted it’s a very strong bottle, it still leaks with moments of annoyance and irritation quite a bit. And if someone or something goes too far, it explodes. That expression you hear: “Blind with rage,” is very much applicable to me. Everything around me seems to turn dark, and all my focus is on the person who wronged me in whatever way. Lot’s of unkind words get thrown out of my body, as it tries to expel this negative emotion in whatever way it can, but at the same time fuels itself to keep going.
I scare myself sometimes, and although this explosion of anger doesn’t happen a whole lot, I would still like to control it, so as to not hurt anybody close to me, physically or emotionally. There is some good advice in this post that I hope to apply to my life. Thank you for sharing it with the world
