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.

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…

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!

I hear you loud and clear Pax, I do believe that in theory, I can wrap my head around it and how it makes sense, but that's my brain. The heart and soul are usually tangled up and attached to these feelings as well. Much harder to overcome those emotions. Survival of the fittest needs to mean we can survive ourselves I guess in these cases. I think you're on the right road, my friend.

I'm sure the road will be rough but that's what we see in ourselves. Its a matter on how we find inner peace in ourselves with a deeper understading of life and its nature. We survive because we understand life. Thank you so much ms. F. I truly appreciate your thoughts.

I agree with you, Time is the revenge only if i have a good memory which is i really don't have..hehe...I guess my motto now is forgetful then forgive :D... I guess fate and karma has its own game, and i don't want to dwell on them.. better live at present and be better to find inner peace. Thank you so much my friend.
Anger is a vicious cycle for sure...turning the other cheek is the hardest thing in the world to do at times, especially when others know you're not good at it to begin with :P But I do find therapy in writing and I hope you can find some as well :)

Lettng go of anger is like letting of a burden youdon't need. Anger can seem sustaining andeven uplifting, but it doesn't last....you are right; the after taste of revenge is bitter...

Thank you as always for reading my works, and I'm really glad you find this piece helpful in someway. I truly appreciate that. Let's find inner peace together.
i think you are right, letting anger build up inside is simply asking for trouble, i'm lucky i don't brood too much on negatives, so anger building is never an issue for me (unless my husband gets in the way when i'm cleaning the house lol). we talk a lot about love and very little about anger, maybe if we talked about it more we would understand it better. another thoughtful and insightful post.
