    Forgiveness: The best Antidote for Anger

    Poison3

    "Holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die" - Unknown


    According to Wikipedia: 

    Anger is an emotion. The physical effects of anger include increased heart rate, blood pressure, and levels of adrenaline and noradrenaline. [1] Some view anger as part of the fight or flight brain response to the perceived threat of harm. [2] Anger becomes the predominant feeling behaviorally, cognitively, and physiologically when a person makes the conscious choice to take action to immediately stop the threatening behavior of another outside force. [3] The English term originally comes from the term anger of Old Norse language.[4] Anger can have many physical and mental consequences.

     

    Or in simple definition:

    It’s this exhausting, tiring feeling inside that is caused by something not meeting with your expectations. It may be the feeling of disrespect when someone didn’t keep his commitment, a lover whom you never expected to cheat on you or the feeling of a little kid whose candy has been taken away. There are a lot of things that can cause anger.

    Anger is a normal feeling that everybody experiences. What’s not normal is making that anger grow huge and create a black hole of resentment and hate. This black hole sucks up all your positive energies, making you feel tired, hopeless and seeking for revenge. These negative emotions create negative results in your actions.

     

    Although anger can cause a lot of trouble in our system, there’s Good News! There is a simple and effective way to get rid of anger.

    :: Forgiveness

    When I say simple, I don’t mean easy. But if given enough effort and thinking, it would make your life and relationships with other people better.

    In an argument, both sides have their own understanding of what’s right. Forgiving, is a way of understanding the other person’s perspective on your same situation.

    We don’t necessarily forget but we do necessarily have to forgive. Because, the idea of forgiving is for the benefit of the person who forgives. It is an act of releasing the negative emotions trapped inside. It also removes you from the emotional attachment to the past event, letting yourself move forward and accept new things to come into your life.

    For me, I’d rather forgive than let myself drown. Instead of letting other people get in the way of my dreams, I’ll just pass through them and leave them with inspiration and a smile. J

    Understanding myself better and knowing how to build strong relationships are just some of the traits I acquired from surrounding myself with positive people in Create Abundance International Community. I am proud to be where I am right now – better and happy, but still looking forward to the great things that soon to be discovered in myself and in other people.
