So much easier



Why is it so much easier to be angry than to say sorry? So much easier to lose your head and shout instead of holding back? No weapon hurts more than bladed words that cut deepest in a fit of anger, yet not meant to wound. But wound hearts, they do. These wounds, they do not completely heal long after the battle has ended, wounds that shall once again open in the course of another battle. In the end, no one wins the battle, and no one will ever win the war. And we glance at each other with quiet desperations.

  1. a perfect example of varying concepts of self-preservation. words are the best weapons, especially those laced with deprecating wit and an ounce of truth. if one is wounded, the best they could do is to take it in stride, not to fully arm oneself to fight a battle that is already lost in the first place. now THAT is desperation.

    because saying sorry means to other people bringing down one's pride and sometimes its easier to get angry because its not that easy to face someone and calmly tell the other person how you really feel...

    Which is exactly what gets me into trouble, because I haven't yet mastered the art of holding back. Sometimes, you just have to, especially if you know you will be hurting people you love.

  4. i think i have become quite adept at holding back, because sometimes i see no point in just going all-out, y'know...before i had this problem with my temper, but in time i gradually had it under control...

    so what do i do? i keep quiet, take a few deep breaths, then fight fire with ice. usually works.

  6. When I burst it is bcoz I jus urgently need to get it thru to the person concerned.
    Bursting is something done at the last resort. But later we usually regret it.

    When an arguement occurs it's usually bcoz we need to justify our ideals or opinion. When the other party disagrees or can't seem to understand we get into the alarm mode- Anger, the indicator of something is not happening right.

    So when you are having a conversation both parties must be willing to put themselves into each others shoes. But when we are having a discussion the parties involved are usually trying to find the best solution without considering the emotional part.

    Emotions are important and so doing conversations are rare bcoz emotions can be really messy. People usually then go for discussions which does not do much but start battles and war.
    Hope this helps gracie.

  8. I remember very well what made me write this. I should have said sorry that instant. But I chose to be angry. I'd give anything to tell my mother sorry now...Sorry, Mame...
