Apropos Anger

Actually, homework ko 'to sa english. Gusto ko lang i-share. :)

Anger is absent when love is bounty; thus, anger is present when love is scarce. We fill ourselves with anger when we have lost reasons to love. We are angered when people hurt us, because we love ourselves too much that we would not let other people cause us so much as a scar.
So what happens to those who are love-departed? To those who cannot perceive tough love and are blinded by indignation towards others? To the angry?
The response is “they suffer.” They curse others, they shout, they blame the innocent. But, what happens to them after they have released the negativity? Nothing. They are still empty, unloved, bitter, and blind.
Anger does not solve anything. It does not cure the crippled, nor treat the trauma. It does not remedy the misery of losing something or the sadness of separation. It only adds to the problem being faced. If you are having troubles with someone, anger is not the solution. It will not take away the stress that only communication can repair. It does not make you move forward; there is no improvement in a life of anguish.
If you are angered, you are worse than the cancer-afflicted because even with your limbs that function, you are not able to help anyone, not even yourself. People must pity you for even the beggar has something to smile about, but you, who are more fortunate, are angered. If you are angry, you are not productive.
You are not able to finish tasks on time. Your responsibilities are not properly and enthusiastically accomplished. The maximum capacity you should be able to fulfil is not achieved.
Anger stirs up hatred between you and the people involved. The ambiance becomes unpleasant and if it worsens it will be unbearable. Anger adds confusion and aloofness to a place that should be abounding in interaction and good welfare. If anger gets out of hand, it affects you and your enemy in ways larger than the cause itself.
If only people are able to withstand the anger and to let the issue fall. Then, we would all be able to live in peace. People will make better choices if they are not controlled by anger. Friends can stay friends until they pass away. Family would never fall apart and divorce would never have been devised. Lovers will never fade away. People will never leave, and others would still be alive if anger was controlled by people.
God would be more delighted in us if we were not so conceited and angry with the people around us. He would be so much happier. He would be truly proud, if only we were not fuming all the time.
A burst of anger is inevitable with all the pressures we are facing, but to let it control your life and your relationships is foolish and unexpected of the wise. People must start smiling and letting anger pass. Let love fill us instead. Let our eyes be opened and anger be put away into oblivion.
