How Big a Man are you?

I know with just reading the topic your probably scratching your head wondering what I will say next. Well nothing new just a new way of putting it at least I hope. Moving on, and into the thick of things. The other day someone got to me. The reason I say got to me is because I am in the process of  managing anger.I am not one of those people who get upset over huge things but I believe small annoying things people do really get me worked up.

Funny thing about anger is,it does not discriminate the difference is in how we deal with it.Come on before you place judgement on me how many times do you get upset on your way to Church or when you are expected to put a happy face? It happens to the most 'up-right' of all.When I get furious my head and not necessariy logical,tells me to confront the object of my anger and that does not always go down well on my part because at the end of the day my heart will tell me how awful I was to person X.Anger is like an illicit brew when you are on it,you are high for a second and you can even fly off a building literally but when the high is over,you have to deal with the consequences of the 'night' before.

I have grown to admire people who manage to keep come even offended and  deal with it when they are 'sober'.It is so easy to ruin friendships or families by few poisonous words when you are on the 'anger high.'You obviously have a clue about what I am talking about so I will not continue with the consequences rather what happens after an outburst.I would rather someone I have hurt come forward instead of secretly stubbing in their heads although when I think about the literal stubbing,I would like to withdraw my statement.We will all annoy people around as at one time or another or they will annoy us.The way we deal with it is what deserves the 'Grammy award'.The Bible actually says in your anger make sure you do not sin!You can never completely deal or contain your anger so the starting point is for small baby steps.

I have learnt from a close friend of mine  that being the bigger man is simply working a way and dealing with the issue after having some cool-down session.Confrontation during the 'anger high' is always the worst.Walking away as opposed to locking fists or bitter exchange of words is always the best. You are  a much bigger man or woman if you can manage your anger.
