March 23, 2015 When I fought off anger in me and spoke kindness instead. I was victorious over darkness with this one!

Anger is the enemy of non-violence and pride is a monster that swallows it up.- Mahatma Gandhi

Holding off your steam when you're about to blow is hard to do but it turns out it really has its benefits. When you blow off steam because you're angry the end result is almost always regret. Why? Because we get to air out words that hurt the other and the effect can linger for a really long time. Words are really like swords and is really just one letter away from the sharpness of swords. I am indeed guilty of this and I almost destroyed what we worked so hard to try and build again. I am human so I do err at times. I am human and I do have feelings and I also do get angry and I can get really really angry. Thanks to one of God's angels for spending time to chat with me to clear my head and thankful that there was no phone call when I could have spread out rotting words that could tear down a soul. It took awhile... Took 2 days before I decided it is time to speak up... to speak up in kindness instead of wrath. And, I am glad. I did not break hearts and my heart also felt better.
