Anger

sometimes its better to let go...

Don’t suppressed anger

Because it has a tendency to build up to the point that it will
                   *Explode*!

      And it will be much harder to control that leads to nowhere…

Also it’s something that can become a dramatic revenge

That leads to drastic result

 

Ending up by just satisfying your hunger

                                                       

                                                       for personal vengeance ….. (+)

Revenge is tasteful yet the aftertaste is awful as it’s bitter!

Don't let anger & revenge eat you up in whole

                       

                  it has a tendency to cloud your mind into  darkness

 

Making you blind on chosing what is right from wrong.

                     

Author's Note

Thank you ms. Belle, Ms. gabrielle and mr. Diego for shining me your wisdom!


well i guess … I would say release and forget… don’t let it built up for too long…
Before I say to myself I would take revenge to all that bullied me, I will change for the better and take my revenge in the far future. A good thing I have a memory gap(lolz) or should I say, I easily forget this kind of things. One thing I learn is that…. Life is just like that… like survival of the fittest… in this case how strong is your well-being to survive this emotional anger… for me now I just think of the today and not mind the past for it has passed…. I guess don’t dwell on it for too long for it hinders your happiness and contentment on things in life…
I’m not an expert on human nature because I can be wrong or right… it depends on how you understand my words. Anger is part of human nature that can lead to a darker road.
This write is put to hold or I’m thinking how true my words are or how much can I add to it, to become more better with depth… well I’m not sure I have achieved it, you judge my friends.

Just my two cents, Mr. Pax.....some people will surely say that to move past anger and the desire for revenge (which is only ego), you must forgive. Personally, I don't think forgiveness is always necessary or warranted. There are some things that happen to ourselves or others (take rape or abuse for example) that I think are beyond forgiveness. I do believe in acceptance though. I think if we can accept what has caused our anger, we can embrace those feelings, and let them go.

I think if we can forgive, and we choose to forgive, anger will cease. Forgiveness is more about finding our own personal peace than it about the other person. We forgive to help ourselves. I think acceptance is all about self. If we accept the anger as a normal part of human nature, and allow ourselves to feel it, it won't turn into something bigger that will eventually harm us. I think you are right, feel it and don't dwell on it, and then you will find your personal happiness.

There is a lot of ugliness in this world. We all make the choice to feed into that or not. It is always a choice. I don't think we need revenge for our pain....revenge will not bring happiness....it will prolong the hurt. Strength isn't about that...it is about rising above the anger. That is what makes for true strength.

As always, you have made me think. Sorry about the long review! I always do that, don't I? LOL :) This has just struck me greatly. Thank you for sharing this today.

Dear friend,

Oh I remember so well your two cents which helps me a lot before in the heart of artistry and practicality… here is my thoughts of your awesome response:

Like murder, do we have to take his life for the grave sin he has committed?
~Do we have any right to take a life of a person as payment for the life he also took?
Like rape, do we have to give this person a harsh punishment as same as the crime committed?
~Do we have any right for any revenge?
All in all the question remains is that: do we have any right to take as much as what is took from us?
Is it really a give and take world…
Is there such a person with pure evil heart, who doesn’t feel fear and love… that deserves no forgiveness.. well there is right… maybe those mentally challenge psychopath… so maybe to take his life is just ok….well I’m still not so sure…
And about the animals as well is it right to kill them for food…
~is being the top of the food-chain makes us superiors making it really ok to kill a helpless animal for food…. (even though I eat meat I still think about it, taking their lives for food)

That’s all my thoughts about your response, sorry for its abit late… yes its long and I really don’t mind for you have given me much insights and a lot to think about … really I like that… now its me saying sorry for a long reply as well with more question... thank you as always dear friend… and happy new year…

Your friendly neighbor,

Wow, Pax, you have brought up some very interesting questions. I am going to respond a little here and we can talk more in private about this if you would life so that I don't overrun your poetry review section. As always, you have really got me thinking....

I think a lot of what it boils down to is just your own personal opinion. I think everyone is coming from a different place and have different ideas on what is "right and wrong" or what is the justified way to handle these kinds of things. It is really just a lot of personal perception.

I can only speak from my own life and what I have learned along the way. For me personally, revenge is never the answer. I think this because it inflicts more damage on us if we take revenge then on the person we are taking revenge against. You have asked some very big questions that go beyond personal things. For those questions, I really think none of us know the real answers as to what is right or wrong in those situations.

Just because we don't have concrete right or wrongs, doesn't mean you can't be angry, Pax. These things make me angry too. Angry is normal. I follow a simple rule in life: Do no harm. If you are intentionally harming someone, it is the wrong choice. Everything else is debatable.

I always love talking with you, my friend. You give me a lot to think about too. Have a very happy new year!

While reading this, I must compliment both, for this wonderful conversation, it is utterly right.... and mature both sides. Thank you my friends.

Venting is the word I believe you want the reader to do...as with the anger and revenge...its a feeling --- more often than not --- it does take over you in the moment...until you realize later what has happened and evaluate the situation that has gone over the edge...the point of no return...the variety of the means is more than likely to set off the equalizer of the intent and force which one engages...

[Sukriti Suki]

I hear you..anger will dissolve us and change who we really are....looking forward to reading more of your work.

[Pax]

THANK YOU, I am glad you can relate to it.

[Sugar Plum ♥]

Very true and wise, specially the final conclusion! I totally agree, anger shouldn`t be suppressed, but it could take another "way", means we can release it in positive activity, instead of revenge. The "taste" of revenge is really more than bitter, as it shows our "black" negative emotions and lead them again to Ourselves. Finally the anger energy goes nowhere, but again to us! Specially if another person is protected from it. So avoid the negative feelings, anger and revenge, as possible, and try to make them away from you - at least try to make them "fast going". I like your wise way to express statements, and emotions, the graph of the poem is so nice!

There are healthy ways to dissipate anger.
Individuals have to find sensible outlets that work for them.
You've expressed many good points, Pax.

[Pax]

Truly beautiful my friend,
Anger is such a wasted energy,
As many with me will agree.
It's also completely natural to feel it,
healthy too, but not for to long,
It will overwhelm you with negativism
And blindfolding for true beauty.
But I'm glad you shared this ofcourse ofcourse
With us, without your honesty and words,
This place would be too cheesy. So thank you
Brother love. xoxo

[Pax]

Dearest friend Eli,

your friendly neighbor/friend/brother,

Such wise words spoken here; yet many know firsthand how difficult it is to control anger. Perhaps it is like a wine bottle; it will bubble up if taken and shook about; but you can't resist seeing what would happen once it does indeed burst so you may take a sip of it.

[Pax]

my friend Tai,

Controlling anger is never an easy task, i know because our impulsiveness or our emotions are really sometimes unpredictable and clouding our mind(like ms. Gabrielle said) with darkness. That is why never lost your presence of mind, to master the inner peace(like mr. Diego & ms. Courtney explained). I think understanding is the key on how to let go anger in an appropriate manner(like ms. Belle explained). I learned a lot from them and in fact the last 3 sentence was inspired by them for I tend to forget the balance of self-control, we are just human. Mastering the balance is never easy. Thank you so much my friend.

Your friendly neighbor,
w.Pax :)

I wanted to stay on the content alone, but I cannot do so since I consider this as more of an argument presented in a prose manner rather than a poem. I can hear your voice Pax more than any other persona, and the absence of your ego is very evident. What is speaking here is only the Id (I can sense) for if not, the ego would tell you for sure that there is this thing called "self control". Allow me to emphasize that holding anger or grudges for long can lead to self destruction same as to letting them go in inappropriate way and in a not right moment. It requires strong personality to attain balance yet this I believe the best way to do : one must learn when to hold on and to let go; to learn when to say what.

I have known you Kabayan with having philosophy as to the Doctrine of the Mean so this piece really surprised me. We may not be on the same page as with regards to this but I still admire your courage of showing here the darker reality .
You were able again to share something that can create endless argument.

[Pax]

truly truly grateful to you Kabayan...
i updated it sa kulng niya...
Maraming Maraming Salamat...
you shine best dear friend.

[Belle]

Thank you for the special mention.
I can feel as the time spills its wheel what has been inscribed in this prose will evolve as you evolve, so I will keep looking at it every now and then to let me see how matured the changes will be.

[Tree]

Truer words are hardly spoken. Your poem alludes to choosing inner peace, and self control, something we should all learn to master.... Thank you for sharing this, Pax (Peace)...

Happy New Year, brother

Diego

[Pax]

mr. Diego thank you for shining your insights to me ...

The buddists say anger is the same as hell. They may have something

[Pax]

My friend Ric,

I believed that Buddists are great in understanding human nature. And i think they are right. Thank you always for your feedBack.

Your friendly neighbor,

Emotions, such as anger, cloud our reason or better judgment. So it’s better not to act in the heat of anger. This is so true. But then, it’s easier said than done. A well-written thought kabayan.

[Pax]

thank you for shining your insights kabayan...
i updated it for better judgement...like what you said...

[gabrielle]

hi kabayan! i truly appreciate that you considered my simple thoughts. thank you and happy new year!
