I have anger issues!!!
Yes I do. I have issues with angry people. I can’t
understand why people go through life always being angry. I have my moments
from time to time but for the most part I am a happy person. If someone cuts (or flips) me off in traffic
I simply slow down and give them some room. I don’t get upset about it because
in relation to the real problems in the world today, having someone pull out in
front of me in traffic is no big deal. And it certainly isn’t worth getting my
blood pressure up.
I feel the same way about other little things. Like people who get
in the speed line in the store with too many items or that wait until their
total is rung up before they start searching for their check book; No big deal.
There are so many little things out there that I tend to ignore while others go
off on a tangent. To me there is nothing
worse than being stuck in line with someone that is harping about having to
wait. Give me a break, please. Complaining and getting angry does absolutely
no good and it may even take years off your life. Get in another lane if it bothers you that
much.
I usually try to surround myself with happy people whenever
I can so don’t be offended if you start complaining and I simply walk away. Sometimes I will be in a meeting and someone will
start complaining. I usually just ignore them and my mind starts to drift away.
Often someone will catch me drifting and when they ask me why I wasn’t paying
attention I just say “I will when you stop complaining and say something
constructive”. That usually gets a smart reply but my point is made. When my
family starts complaining I just say “hey I can get this at work.”
So slow down, be happy and live a long life. That’s my advice
for the day. And please respect the speed lane at Walmart. I am tired of hearing about it.
