Have you ever been so mad at a situation that you ended up upsetting someone who means the world to you because you couldn't control your temper???
This person was not involved in upsetting you at all- but in a fit of rage you go off on them or do something to upset them- a look, or gesture maybe… of course you aren't upset with them only upset at the situation that's happening- however your friend is in the wrong place at the wrong time- or is trying to play w/you and you just snap…
Then you're left to pick up the pieces and TRY to put them back together- only things aren't fitting as easily as they did before- you've apologized, cried and almost begged forgiveness… but your friend is still hurt or angry and won't respond to you… doesn't want to talk to you… which of course makes a bad situation worse…
Anger is a horrible animal- and once unleashed it's very hard to get back in it's cage… usually the damage it does is more than minimal- attacking innocent bystanders, causing injuries that often times aren't cured with just a quick apology… anger has no biases or prejudices it doesn't care who it hurts. Anger comes in many forms- from violent rages to quiet retaliations—anger is an UGLY being and is not attractive on anyone. It's also a strong being- it can tear apart relationships quicker than any other emotion.
If you've hurt someone you care a lot about- because you allowed Anger to get the best of you- be sure to let them know how sorry you are, how much they mean to you… and remember to allow them time to heal from their injuries—many who have been attacked by anger are gunshy at first…
If you're one of the special people in my life that I unleashed my anger on—I AM SO SORRY… all I can do is ask for your forgiveness and pray you'll grant it…
