Recently I was told by a love one that they wanted me to part of their boiling water. That if I got a bit hot under the collar that this might relieve some of the heat they were feeling. Although I took umbrage with such a remark I understand his feelings which he later said he regretted. If someone could be angry maybe I would be less. Yet my anger is not slight it becomes a force that can grow and consumes me until if not put in control can throw the whole pot overboard burning everyone around. I have experienced events of stress that could have led to death or murder including suddenly being rushed to an emergency room where my and or loved one’s life was on the line, being thrown into a prison cell because of fabricated charges that could have put in jail for most of life, watching loved one’s torture themselves and family members with an untreated mental health issue an seeing people I and my family betray a life bond of trust that I often let other things just pass by. Do I get stressed and angry over small fractures of course but I try to make sure those fractures don’t break any walls. My calmness is not because I am cold and uncaring but because I truly care to solve the problem and move on. Therefore I try to stay level headed even in the most difficult of times and hopeful by being cool/calm the water won’t totally evaporate.
