Annoyance and anger just aren’t worth it. Do you really have to be upset again and again by mulling over the same occasion? There must be other recourses than being upset.
No matter how correct you are that the event may be uncalled for, you don’t have to fume nor do you have to erupt like a volcano.
You deserve more than to react and react and react. I say this to you so that you will know to grow to be the master of your life and not so blown by the winds of another’s inabilities. You may say that the people who cause you upset should know better. This may well be true. I’m not arguing with you.
I will also ask you: Is it possible that you, too, by now, could come to a better way of responding? Perhaps this other person is smarter than you because he or she is not nearly so bothered about whatever it may be as you are. This idea rankles you. What it may come down to is that something means more to you than it does to someone else.
You can talk about your right to be angry all you want, yet where does anger get you?
If We care to talk about efficiency and competency, anger is not efficient nor is it competent. You’re wiser without anger, do you agree?
No matter what the justification, what if you aren’t angry? What would you lose, and what would you gain? What if you had composure instead of blood boiling? What if you were true to yourself and wise and kind? What if you could be wiser? What if you were not a wooden match that goes up so easily into flame whenever it is struck?
