Anger, How Do You Handle It
Lately on the blogs there seems to be a lot of anger among our blogging family. I ran accross this and wanted to share this.Anger turns into resentment, resentment turns into bitterness, bitterness turns into unforgiveness, unforgiveness turns into a defiled conscience. Pretty soon, we become captives of our own anger.
Anger is nothing more than a sophisticated version of a temper tantrum. Just because we can define it with eloquent speech doesn't mean it is any more justified. We are still mad that we can't get what we want. And our anger overflows out of us and defiles everyone around us.
Instead of nursing, rehearsing, conversing about, and dispersing our anger, we need to reverse our anger before it hurts us and others!
How do you reverse anger? You do it with forgiveness, loving kindness, and tenderness. You go to the person toward whom you have directed your anger, and seek forgiveness!
I might add that besides seeking forgiveness, you might want to throw a hug in there!
