Just Thinking!

Just Thinking about that first article. When I wrote it it was rough and on the fly. A lot
like my life. I said that Anger was Hate's Mother, but more accurately, Hate is more like
hate's TWIN.

When you think about it, it's impossible to love something while it makes you mad. You can
love someone before you're angry and aftyer you're angry, but not while you're angry.

I used the Mother/Child scenario because it is extreme, but anger is an extreme emotion.
It overwhelms the senses and all other emotions when it is at it's height.
You push even your closest friends or family members away during the time of anger. Sure we
re-embrace them when the "calm" returns, but not while we're angry. That is why its' called
getting MAD. Huh!

The only way to control it is to arrest it on its' approach, not the the exterior but the
interior.People or events may trigger the emotion, but sometimes we forget that something
can only trigger something that already exist. People and/or things don't make us mad, they
only allow us a reason to release the beast. That anger is alread there and we find a culprit to blame it on. Its' a false peace that comes from not having to be responsible for maintaining control of one's self.

Anger is discontent with something. something that we should have to encounter or tolerate. Its' as if we should have control of our environmentwhen of course we don't, just our individual presence in it.

We ensconced in our pride and ego's. The more pride we have, the greater our inflated ego's, the easier to embrace the anger.

Humility is the anecdote to anger. The more we can humble ourselves; to understand our place the more we can find peace.

Knowing , however, is not doing but that's another segment for some other time!

Stay tuned
