Weekend || Why Angry Feelings Pointless

It is no secret that, despite what the majority of us would want to think, human beings are more motivated by their emotions and sentiments than just their thoughts. We make many, if not most, of our decisions solely out of emotion, and that's okay.

When those choices are motivated by unfavorable feelings, trouble starts. There are two opposing emotional spectrums that people are capable of experiencing. both the favorable and unfavorable ones.

Granted, certain positive emotions can also influence poor decisions, but nearly all of the decisions you make based on negative emotions will turn out badly. Anger is one in particular that I want to discuss today. Yes, I am not perfect and I do get furious sometimes, but I also understand that anger is unhealthy and even self-destructive.

The Buddha Gautama, who is regarded as the pinnacle of love, peace, and harmony, famously remarked, "To be angry is to let others' mistakes punish yourself." That is really eye-opening, isn't it?

When we become furious, it's usually because we think that someone else has done something offensive—words, acts, or something else entirely—that's why we become so enraged right away.

Not only can anger ruin our mental health, but it also has a negative physical impact. Our bodies are harmed by our heart beating more quickly, blood pressure rising, adrenaline rush, and heavier breathing.

Therefore, you are sort of punishing yourself for the errors made by someone else. We are experiencing a completely useless emotion, in my opinion, because it is having no positive effect on the current circumstances!

Because anger is such a strong emotion, people who are experiencing it lose all ability to reason and become solely focused on finding a way to exact revenge on the person or thing that has angered them.

Everything about being a person is completely negated by this kind of animalistic aim. It is contrary to our capacity as humans to reason and view a problem from a variety of perspectives to behave impulsively.

Because of this, acting out of anger nearly always results in poor decisions that hurt not just you but also the people you care about. all because of something that, in the end, wouldn't even have any use.

In light of this, the next time you find yourself becoming furious, take a moment to calm down, take a deep breath, and consider whether the situation will still be important in five years. That ought to assist you in recovering some of your control and enable you to make a sane choice.

Happy Weekend 😊
