If there is one thing I have learned in life is that I don’t have time to be angry. Anger brings about too much distraction, too many problems and takes the entertainment away from everything. As a realist I tend to accept that there are people out there who will try really hard to get you mad, be it as a joke, by having an insulting nature (people who get offended easily and are fast to throw verbal punches) or are looking for trouble. I like to smile at life as often as possible because in reality people who try to get you mad tend to get mad first when they realize that have no control over you.

Now, this is not to say I don’t get mad. I am very passionate about my beliefs (political, religious, personal, etc) and when a debate get heated I might lose a bit of control and end up mad. But that’s not always a bad thing as sometimes you just have to let out some steam to avoid a dangerous explosion of anger. Think of it as a release valve. I usually let my gaming be my release valve as I spend a couple of hours either gunning down other online players or building mass armies both ground and air and mount an assault on alien enemy bases (no I don’t have a need for destruction problem). I can be very relaxing sometimes.

But I have noticed how some people seem to be angry almost to the point of being violent. Not that anyone could be physically violent on a blog but reading the words and the constant use of bold words, underlining and CAPS are almost as telling as the thousand words of a picture. What’s even sadder is how this anger seems to be constant and with no end in site. makes me wonder what a person like this would be if they actually got mad. People like this are difficult to converse, debate or even talk to because everything comes out with anger and usually followed by foul language. Insults are usually their weapon of choice when they realize they are not in control of a conversation. Losing is not only not an option but an excuse to bring out their weapon of choice.

My question (as my title states) is, why are you so angry? Why so much animosity towards those who don’t agree with your point of view? Why are you so mad even before anyone reads you articles and comments on them? Anger is such a negative thing to hold on to so persistently. You need to learn to cool off and find ways to make your point without having to insult the entire world (exaggerated on purpose) in the process. Not worth spending so much time feeding it.
